InterventionPatients are divided into two cohorts based on risk factors and randomised to receive either standard treatment (radiation or combined modality therapy according to cohort assignment) or experimental treatment (ABVD):

1. STANDARD ARM:
A. Cohort 1: Radiotherapy only.
B. Cohort 2: Chemotherapy, adriamycin, bleomycin, vinblastine and decarbazine (ABVD) given intravenously on days 1 and 15 of a 28 day cycle. Two cycles of ABVD to be followed by radiotherapy.

2. EXPERIMENTAL ARM:
Chemotherapy, ABVD given intravenously on days 1 and 15 of a 28 day cycle. Patients initially receive two cycles of ABVD followed by restaging. Patients in complete remission receive a further two cycles of ABVD, and those patients assessed as achieving a partial remission and not demonstrating progressive disease receive a further four cycles of ABVD.
