lüll Management of Hodgkin lymphoma Ansell SM; Armitage JOMayo Clin Proc 2006[Mar]; 81 (3): 419-26Approximately 7350 new cases of Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) are diagnosed annually in the United States. The Incidence of HL has a bimodal pattern, with the highest incidence seen in young adults and in elderly patients. The disease is composed of 2 distinct entities: the more commonly diagnosed classical HL and the rare nodular lymphocyte-predominant HL. Classical HL includes the subgroups nodular sclerosis, mixed cellularity, lymphocyte depletion, and lymphocyte rich. Selection of the appropriate therapy Is based on accurately assessing the stage of disease. Patients with early-stage disease are treated with combined modality strategies using abbreviated courses of combination chemotherapy followed by Involved-field radiation therapy, whereas those with advanced-stage disease receive a longer course of chemotherapy without radiation therapy. Currently, more than 80% of all patients with newly diagnosed HL are expected to be long-term survivors. Although many patients respond well to initial therapies and have durable long-term remissions, a subset of patients has resistant disease and experiences relapse even after subsequent high-dose chemotherapy and autologous stem cell transplantation. New therapies are clearly needed for these patients.|Hodgkin Disease/*diagnosis/etiology/*therapy[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Neoplasm Staging[MESH]|Prognosis[MESH]|Salvage Therapy[MESH] |
