About this book

This book examines in detail the current treatment options for first-line, relapsed, and refractory Hodgkin lymphoma and the management appropriate in special clinical circumstances, including in the elderly, pregnant women, and those with lymphocyte-predominant disease. Careful attention is devoted to the emerging individually tailored treatment strategies that are especially appealing given their potential to reduce early and late treatment side effects in this generally young patient population. In addition, clear guidance is provided on the management of Hodgkin survivors. Other topics addressed include epidemiology, pathogenesis, the role of the microenvironment, initial clinical evaluation, imaging diagnosis, use of staging systems, and prognostic factors. The second edition of Hodgkin Lymphoma: A Comprehensive Overview has been revised and updated by the key opinion leaders to reflect recent progress in the field. It will be of great value to hematologists, oncologists, and allothers with an interest in Hodgkin lymphoma.

Reviews

“The book, divided into five sections, consists of 437 pages, enriched by figures, tables, schema and an updated bibliography. … Intended primarily as an updated publication for oncologists and haematologists, this volume may stimulate the interest of specialists involved in oncology, as well as members of the broader medical community who have a strong interest in Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Nuclear physicians and radiologists may also find the material to be of particular relevance … .” (Flavia Galante and Luigi Mansi, European Journal of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging, Vol. 43, 2016)
