Hodgkin and non-Hodgkin lymphoma in children: successes and challenges
Paediatric lymphomas constitute a little over 10% of all cancers in children and fall into one of two pathological classes: Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) and non-Hodgkin lymphomas (NHL). The clinical presentation and management differ for HL and NHL and their associated subgroups. For most childhood lymphoma, current treatment strategies result in high cure rates. However this comes with the significant burden of the late effects of treatment in some patient groups, particularly with the use of radiotherapy in HL.
