Radiotherapy of Hodgkin's lymphoma has evolved from extended-field to involved-field (IF)
radiotherapy reducing toxicity whilst maintaining high cure rates. Recent publications
recommend further reduction in the radiation field to involved-node (IN) radiotherapy;
however, this concept has never been tested in a randomized trial. The German Hodgkin
Study Group aims to compare it with standard IF radiotherapy in their future HD17 trial.
Abstract
Radiotherapy of Hodgkin's lymphoma has evolved from extended-field to involved-field (IF) radiotherapy reducing toxicity whilst maintaining high cure rates. Recent publications recommend further reduction in the radiation field to involved-node (IN) radiotherapy; however, this concept has never been tested in a randomized trial. The German Hodgkin Study Group aims to compare it with standard IF radiotherapy in their future HD17 trial.
