| Main Objective: 1. Are 5 year event free survival (EFS) rate estimates in patients with adequate response after 2 OEPA treated without radiotherapy consistent with a target EFS rate of 90% in all treatment groups? 2. Can Procarbazine be safely replaced by Dacarbazine in therapy groups TG-2 and TG-3 without a deterioration of EFS (randomised comparison of COPDAC and COPP)? 3. Description of treatment outcome to a standardised risk adapted relapse strategy ; Secondary Objective: 1. Is the 5 year event free survival (EFS) rate in patients with inadequate response after 2 OEPA who receive standard involved field radiotherapy consistent with a target EFS rate of 90% estimates in all treatment groups? 2. Does substitution of Dacarbazine for Procarbazine in TG-2 and -3 patients decrease the rate of infertility in males and premature menopause for females? ; Primary end point(s): Event free survival (EFS) defined as time from registration until the first of the following events: • progression/relapse of disease • diagnosis of a secondary malignancy • death of any cause. | — |
