<br/><br/> Hodgkins lymphoma is a highly curable disease. The study aims to assess the efficacy of the simple scoring system used since 1998 to predict the progression free survival of advanced cases of Hodgkins lymphoma as well as early cases at NCI, Cairo University. Retrospective assessment of patients treated with Hodgkins lymphoma at NCI during the period from January 2007 to December 2010. International prognostic score (IPS), disease free survival (DFS), progression free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS) were calculated. A total of 191 patients were identified. 98 patients with early stage disease with a median age 24.5 years. The most common histological type encountered in both early and late stage disease was the mixed cellularity (41.8%) , and 51.6% respectively
