Patients in this study will be treated with ABVD (adriamycin, bleomycin, vinblastine and dacarbazine) on Days 1 and 15 of each cycle according to standard treatment guidelines.  The purpose of this study is to determine the progression-free survival at 36 months for patients with Hodgkin lymphoma who achieve a response after one cycle of ABVD chemotherapy.
