Impact of routine surveillance imaging on the outcomes of patients with classical Hodgkin lymphoma following autologous hematopoietic cell transplantation

Conclusions A minority of cHL who achieve CR following auto-HCT will ultimately relapse. Surveillance imaging detected about half of relapses; however, outcomes were similar for those whose relapse was detected by routine surveillance imaging versus detected clinically in between surveillance imaging studies. There appears to be limited utility for routine surveillance imaging in cHL patients who achieve complete remission after auto-HCT.
