In a nutshell This study investigated the impact of liposomal doxorubicin (Adriamycin) on cardiac side effects in lymphoma patients compared to conventional doxorubicin. The study suggested that liposomal doxorubicin can reduce cardiac effects and still be an effective therapy, particularly for patients at high risk for anthracycline-induced...

In a nutshell This study determined long-term risk of death from all causes using data from 1,541 early-stage (stage 1-2) Hodgkin’s lymphoma (HL) patients who received radiotherapy (RT) alone or RT with chemotherapy. This study concluded that this risk was significantly lower for patients treated in the most recent era of radiation therapy thanks...

In a nutshell This study investigated the outcomes of advanced-stage classical Hodgkin’s lymphoma (HL) patients treated with ABVD (doxorubicin, bleomycin, vinblastine, dacarbazine) chemotherapy followed by escalated (higher dose) BEACOPP (bleomycin, etoposide, doxorubicin, cyclophosphamide, vincristine, procarbazine, prednisone) chemotherapy...

In a nutshell This study determined the outcomes of early-stage classical Hodgkin’s lymphoma (HL) patients who received ABVD (doxorubicin, bleomycin, vinblastine, dacarbazine) chemotherapy and radiotherapy (RT) only. The study concluded that patients who showed a good partial response (tumor shrinkage) to ABVD chemotherapy were successfully...

In a nutshell The authors looked at the relationship between heart failure and different treatments for Hodgkin Lymphoma. This study concluded that the risk of heart failure increased with increasing radiation doses and the use of chemotherapy containing anthracyclines (such as doxorubicin). Some background Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) has high 10-year...
Read MoreIn a nutshell This study determined whether a faster course of salvage chemotherapy reduced tumor volume in patients with relapsed or refractory Hodgkin lymphoma. The authors concluded that shorter intervals between SC cycles was safe and effective. Some background Hodgkin lymphoma is considered to be a highly curable form of...
