Outcomes of Hodgkin's lymphoma patients with relapse or progression following autologous hematopoietic cell transplantation.

Patients with relapsed/progressed Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL) following autologous hematopoietic cell transplantation (AHCT) may not have an invariably dismal outcome as previously considered. In a multicenter retrospective study, we evaluated 126 patients who relapsed/progressed after a median of 5 (1-132) months post first AHCT. Management consisted of irradiation, chemotherapy ± irradiation, second HCT, or palliation.
