| Article/Chapter Title: | Principles of chemotherapy in Hodgkin lymphoma |
| Abstract: | Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) is highly responsive to combination chemotherapy and cure rates approach 75-80% with modern therapy, in which chemotherapy is almost always employed. In this chapter, we discuss the five standard chemotherapy regimens commonly used for the treatment of HL as well as their side-effect profiles, including late side effects, which may be seen many years after the administration of chemotherapy. Two new agents not yet commercially available will also be discussed. © 2011 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg. |
