Serum levels of patients with Hodgkin's disease were evaluated during the course of the disease. Significant correlations were seen in relation to the stage of the disease, to sex and to various hematological data. An increase of Fer levels during progression and a decrease during remission was observed. Possible pathogenetic mechanisms are discussed. Cancer 52:2308‐2312, 1983.
