The standard treatment for Hodgkin's disease typically involves a combination of localized radiation to the affected lymph nodes and chemotherapy. This approach helps to kill cancer cells in both the lymph nodes and any that may have spread elsewhere in the body. Generalized radiation and chemotherapy may be used in advanced stages of the disease, but localized treatments are usually preferred for earlier stages.
