Abstract
Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) occurs throughout the lifespan but is one of the most common cancers in adolescents and young adults (AYA; 15-39 years). HL has become a highly curable disease with survival rates surpassing 90%, including patients with high-risk and advanced stage disease. Unfortunately, intensive treatment carries a risk of short- and long-term toxicity. Given the decades pediatric HL survivors are expected to live after treatment, the pediatric approach to treatment has focused on improving the therapeutic index through response adapted treatment and more recently the incorporation of novel agents. The efforts of pediatric and medical oncologists in research and clinical trial development have long occurred in parallel, but recent efforts have laid the foundation for collaboration with the goal of standardizing AYA care and allowing earlier incorporation of novel therapy for younger patients. This review focuses on the evolution of the management of pediatric HL including epidemiology, biology, and approaches to upfront and salvage treatment regimens.
