Abstract

Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) is a highly curable malignancy for most patients, while the treatment of relapsed and refractory HL is still a difficult and important field. A high dose of chemotherapy with autologous stem cell transplantation is treated as the preferred treatment with a high relapse incidence. The 59th American Society of Hematology Annual Meeting reported the recent progress of the treatment of relapsed and refractory HL, including the improvement of traditional high dose chemotherapy regimens, the new drugs or therapies like brentuximab vedotin, nivolumab, pembrolizumab and ibrutinib, and chimeric antigen receptor T-cell. This review focuses on these advances. Key words: Lymphoma, Hodgkin; Recurrence; Refractory
