Adolescents and young adults with classical Hodgkin lymphoma in North Tunisia: Insights from an adult single-institutional study.

CONCLUSION: The treatment approach used is well tolerated by adult patients. However, the AYA patients and particularly adolescent subgroup had more advanced disease at diagnosis and should be treated more intensively in dedicated units. RT dose<36Gy and ABVD chemotherapy were associated with lower EFS in this population.
