Hodgkin disease/lymphoma (HD/HL) is an uncommon malignancy; in 2008, an estimated 8220 new diagnoses and 1350 deaths will occur in the United States. The past few decades have seen significant progress in the management of HL; it is now curable in at least 80% of patients. In fact, cure rates for HL have increased so extensively that the overriding treatment considerations often relate to long-term toxicity, especially for patients with early- or intermediate-stage disease. The World Health Organization classification divides HL into 2 main types: classical and lymphocyte-predominant HL (CHL and LPHL). These guidelines discuss clinical management, focusing exclusively on patients from postadolescence through the seventh decade of life who do not have serious intercurrent disease.
