Hodgkin's lymphoma in the elderly with special reference to type and intensity of chemotherapy in relation to prognosis.

Abstract

Prognosis remains heterogeneous and the significance of established prognostic factors is limited in elderly HL patients. Patients who received a low RDI of CT and those receiving non-ABVD-based treatment fared worse. However, also elderly patients can enjoy long-standing complete remission following minimal treatment.
