Retrospective analysis of clinical features and treatment outcomes of children with Hodgkin's Lymphoma treated with different chemotherapy protocols at a tertiary care center in Pakistan.

Purpose: Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) is one of the most curable paediatric cancers, with long-term survival rates now exceeding 90% after treatment with chemotherapy alone or combined with radiotherapy (RT). Treatment options for Hodgkin's Lymphoma differ among various study groups and there is still no consensus regarding the standard treatment for Hodgkin's lymphoma. Taking into account the impact of treatment-related mortality in low- and middle-income countries we propose to study the the clinical features and treatment outcomes by using different chemotherapy protocols in Hodgk in s' s Lymphoma children's at Shaukat khanam hospital Lahore.
