Introduction: Congestive heart failure (CHF) is a known complication after anthracyclines and radiotherapy for classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL). Contemporary cHL treatment may be associated with less risk because radiotherapy use and techniques have changed substantially over time.

Methods: In this study, Swedish cHL patients diagnosed in 2000-2018, and treated with adriamycin [doxorubicin], bleomycin, vinblastine, and dacarbazine (ABVD) or bleomycin, etoposide, Adriamycin [doxorubicin], cyclophosphamide, vincristine, procarbazine, and prednisone (BEACOPP), were matched 1:10 to the general population on birth year and sex to investigate relative rates and cumulative risks of CHF.

Purpose: Doxorubicin, bleomycin, vinblastine, dacarbazine (ABVD) chemotherapy is the current standard treatment for early-stage Hodgkins lymphoma (HL). The use of consolidative radiation therapy (RT) in addition to chemotherapy may lead to better survival rates but is controversial because of concerns about long-term toxicity. The aim of this study is to compare outcomes of patients receiving ABVD chemotherapy alone (CTX alone) versus ABVD with consolidative RT (CMT).

Introduction: The BV-AVD (Brentuximab vedotin, doxorubicin, vinblastine, and dacarbazine) combination for first-line treatment of advanced stage Hodgkin's lymphoma has been approved by regulatory authorities and included in international guidelines. However, several factors influence its incorporation as standard of care.

Materials And Methods: A group of experts from different institutions was identified and, using the Delphi method, an analysis of the results of the ECHELON 1 trial for the indication of BV-AVD over ABVD (doxorubicin hydrochloride, bleomycin sulfate, vinblastine sulfate, dacarbazine) in patients with Hodgkin's lymphoma Stages III and IV in Argentina was done.

The German Hodgkin Study Group developed the escalated BEACOPP (bleomycin, etoposide, doxorubicin, cyclophosphamide, vincristine, procarbazine, and prednisone) protocol as a treatment strategy for advanced-stage Hodgkin's lymphoma. In Brazil, as well as in other countries, procarbazine has been replaced with dacarbazine due to the limited availability of procarbazine. The Hematology Center at Irmandade da Santa Casa de Misericórdia in São Paulo adopted and modified the escalated BEACOPP protocol, substituting prednisone with dexamethasone and incorporating two different doses of dacarbazine: 375 mg/m/day on Day 8 or the original dose of 250 mg/m/day on Days 2 and 3.

Introduction: The current treatment regimens for Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL) are associated with high incidences of adverse events.

Purpose: This study aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of doxorubicin + bleomycin + vincristine + dacarbazine (ABVD) and standard bleomycin + etoposide + doxorubicin + cyclophosphamide + vincristine + procarbazine + prednisone (BEACOPP) chemotherapy in the treatment of advanced stage HL.

Methods: This multicenter, randomized, parallel, open, positive control noninferiority trial was conducted from 2016 to 2019 and comprised 93 subjects who were randomized in a 1:1 ratio between the treatment (BEACOPP; n = 44) and control (ABVD; n = 49) groups.
