Secondary cancer in a survivor of Hodgkin's lymphoma: A case report and review of the literature

Maja Lisik-Habib et al. Oncol Lett. 2015 Feb.

Abstract

Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL) is one of the most curable malignant diseases in adults. However, HL patients have a higher risk of developing second malignancies compared with the general population. The population of adult cancer survivors is growing, thus, the long-term effects of cancer treatment, including secondary cancer development, have become an increasingly important concern in the field of oncology. The current study presents the case of a female HL survivor who developed two secondary malignancies within 29 years of follow-up. Furthermore, a review of the literature was conducted, which focused on secondary breast and gastrointestinal cancers in HL survivors.

Keywords: Hodgkin’s lymphoma; breast cancer; cancer survivorship; gastrointestinal cancer; secondary cancer.
