Unlike classical HL (cHL), NLPHL is mostly diagnosed in early stages. The clinical course is usually indolent. Overall, NLPHL patients have an excellent prognosis and the majority experiences long-term survival. Except for stage IA disease which is sufficiently treated with radiotherapy alone, treatment of newly diagnosed NLPHL is often very similar to cHL. However, activity has also been demonstrated for rituximab-containing protocols applied in B-NHL. Second-line treatment is chosen individually and mostly less intensive than in cHL.
