Abstract

As we start the third decade of the third millennium AD, children with Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) continue to be treated differently from adults. The primary driving force for this divergence over the last 15–20 years has been a desire to reduce the burden of treatment with particular reference to late effects. That reduction is being achieved primarily by limiting the amount of radiotherapy required to maintain excellent EFS rates. Titration of therapeutic aggressiveness by the use of PET/CT response assessment scans has been instrumental in achieving this goal. Children and adolescents with early-stage lymphocyte predominant (NLP) HL are treated on, or according to, dedicated clinical trials employing surgery alone in select situations, and low dose NHL-like therapy, often without radiotherapy. The use of combination anti-CD 20 antibody therapy is also increasing in this pediatric population. Management of teenagers and young adults (TYA) straddles between the pediatric and adult approaches depending on the treating institution. Awareness of the specific needs of this age group is escalating and several “pediatric” trials have been extended to include young adults. International harmonization of prognostic factors, risk categorization, and response assessment remains a challenge. The treatment of pediatric and adolescent refractory disease and relapse, however, converges with the adult approach. Trials using anti-CD30 antibody alone or in combination with PD-1 inhibitors and other checkpoint inhibitors are ongoing currently as a bridge to transplant. The debate regarding which sort of stem cell “transplant,” when, and after what continues. It is gratifying that advances in treating pediatric HL continue, and we are confident that the future will bring more.
