Are we improving the long-term burden of Hodgkin's lymphoma patients with modern treatment?

Berthe M P Aleman et al. Hematol Oncol Clin North Am. 2007 Oct.

Abstract

The cure rate of patients who have Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL) amounts to 80% or more because of risk-adapted treatment using modern chemotherapy and radiotherapy schedules. In this article we describe important late effects after treatment of HL and how we expect the long-term burden of patients who have HL to change applying modern treatments. Because treatment always has side effects to some extent, awareness of possible late effects after treatment remains important for patients and treating physicians.
