9. Hodgkin Lymphoma Treatment
The treatment for HL is specific depending on the type, stage, and assessment of possibility of resistant disease. Although curable, the therapies can lead to significant long-term toxicity. Treatment options include radiation therapy, salvage chemotherapy, induction chemotherapy, and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.
Follow-up of the patient after complete remission is also recommended for 5 years. It should include lab tests and imaging. Even after 5 years, annual surveillance is recommended.
