Abstract

Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) is a lymphoid neoplasm characterized by malignant lymphocytes, known as Reed-Sternberg cells, on a background of non-neoplastic inflammatory cells. Lugano staging determines the stage of Hodgkin lymphoma, which, in turn, determines the treatment and prognosis. Limited-stage disease is defined as Stage I and Stage II, which is diagnosed in more than 50% of patients. Pre-treatment risk stratification, PET-adapted therapy, and combined modality treatment have significantly improved cure rates, making limited-stage HL one of the most curable malignancies. In this article, we discuss the current approach to managing limited-stage HL.
