Abstract

Hodgkin lymphoma has been studied more than any other type of lymphoma. The result of those studies has lead to rapid advances in the diagnosis and treatment of the disease. The vast majority of Hodgkin lymphoma patients can be cured after first line treatment. And even for those patients who relapse or become refractory, secondary therapies are often successful in providing another remission and cure the patient. The prescribed type of treatment for individual patients depends on several factors, such as time of relapse occurance, the patient’s age, overall health and previous therapies received.
