Clinical Features and Prognosis Analysis of Hodgkin Lymphoma: A Multicenter Retrospective Study Over a Decade of Patients in China

Conclusions General clinical features were comparable with those of Western patients, whereas therapeutic outcomes were slightly inferior. The novel risk assessment model showed potential as a more powerful prognostic tool by identifying 3 subsets of patients with significantly distinct outcomes, which warrants further validations. Micro-Abstract One hundred and fifty patients with newly diagnosed Hodgkin's lymphoma at 4 medical centers over a decade were reviewed. General clinical features were comparable to western patients, while therapeutic outcomes were slightly inferior. A new risk model incorporating traditional risk factors and interim imaging response stratified patients into three classes with distinct outcomes, which warrants further validations for better risk-adapted therapeutic strategy.
