The history of Hodgkin lymphoma 21

Christophe Fermé.
Abstract
Hodgkin lymphoma was initially considered to be caused by infectious agents. The Hodgkin and Reed-Sternberg tumor cells are derived from mature B cells and transforming events were identified. Staging laparotomy has been discontinued for clinical evaluation with the progress of medical imaging. For seven decades, clinical trials have allowed to define risk factors, to improve standard treatments with the optimal use of chemotherapy and radiotherapy. A risk adapted strategy and early response to chemotherapy are mandatory to reduce long-term consequences of treatment.
