Results of a Trial of PET-Directed Therapy for Early-Stage Hodgkin’s Lymphoma

Abstract

The results of this study did not show the noninferiority of the strategy of no further treatment after chemotherapy with regard to progression-free survival. Nevertheless, patients in this study with early-stage Hodgkin's lymphoma and negative PET findings after three cycles of ABVD had a very good prognosis either with or without consolidation radiotherapy.
