Combination Chemotherapy in Treating Young Patients With Hodgkin's Lymphoma
Summary
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving more than one drug (combination chemotherapy) may kill more cancer cells. It is not yet known which combination chemotherapy regimen is more effective in treating Hodgkin's lymphoma. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying different combination chemotherapy regimens to compare how well they work in treating young patients with Hodgkin's lymphoma.

paper In 440 of 713 patients in the intention-to-treat group who had an adequate response and did not receive radiotherapy, 5-year event-free survival was 86·5% PMID 36858722 ↗
paper which was less than the 90% target rate. PMID 36858722 ↗
paper In patients who responded adequately, event-free survival rates at 5 years were 90·1% PMID 34895479 ↗
