Abstract

Patients with Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) who relapse following effective front-line therapy are offered salvage second-line chemotherapy regimens followed by high-dose therapy and autologous stem cell transplantation (HDT/ASCT). Randomized studies comparing HDT/ASCT with conventional chemotherapy in patients with relapsed refractory HL have shown significant improvement in progression-free survival and freedom from treatment failure but were not powered to show improvements in overall survival. For patients who relapse after salvage HDT/ASCT, novel therapies exist as a bridge to allogeneic SCT. In this article, we review indications and results of autologous and allogeneic SCT in HL.
