Question 40

Question 41

Hodgkin lymphoma treatment

Answer 41

All patients with classic Hodgkin lymphoma, regardless of stage, receive chemotherapy(doxorubicin, bleomycin, vinblastine, and dacarbazine (ABVD)).

Patients with early-stage nodular lymphocyte–predominant Hodgkin lymphoma may be treated with radiation alone, but in the more advanced stages, they should be treated with rituximab with or without chemotherapy.

Complete response indicated by PET scan after two to three cycles of chemotherapy can allow some patients with early-stage classical Hodgkin lymphoma to forgo radiation therapy.
