Treatments for Hodgkin lymphoma
If you have Hodgkin lymphoma (HL), your healthcare team will create a treatment plan just for you. It will be based on your health and specific information about the cancer. When deciding which treatments to offer for HL, your healthcare team will consider:
- the type of HL
- the stage
- the areas of the body affected by HL
- if you have B symptoms (specific symptoms that affect the whole body, like fever)
- if you have any unfavourable (adverse) risk factors, such as bulky (large) tumours
- your age
- your overall health
- your risk of short-term or late side effects
HL is generally treated using chemotherapy, with or without radiation therapy. Find out more about treatments for classical HL and treatments for nodular lymphocyte-predominant HL. Changes to the treatment plan may be made based on your response to treatment.
