what are chances of recovery in Adult Hodgkin Lymphoma?

The prognosis (chance of recovery) and treatment options depend on the following:

  • The patient's signs and symptoms, including whether or not they have B symptoms (fever for no known reason, weight loss for no known reason, or drenching night sweats).
  • The stage of the cancer (the size of the cancer tumors and whether the cancer has spread to the abdomen or more than one group of lymph nodes).
  • The type of Hodgkin lymphoma.
  • Blood test results.
  • The patient's age, sex, and general health.
  • Whether the cancer is newly diagnosed, continues to grow during treatment, or has come back after treatment.

For Hodgkin lymphoma during pregnancy, treatment options also depend on:

  • The wishes of the patient.
  • The age of the unborn baby.

Adult Hodgkin lymphoma can usually be cured if found and treated early.
