Prognostic factors for survival of patients with advanced urothelial tumors treated with methotrexate, vinblastine, doxorubicin, and cisplatin chemotherapy.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Most relapses of Hodgkin's disease (HD) occur within the first 2 years after diagnosis, but they may develop after a longer observation period. The aim of this study was to define the incidence, clinical course, and prognostic factors for late relapse (LR) of Hodgkin's disease. For this purpose, the authors ...
