Involved-field radiotherapy: a potential standard therapy for early stage LPHL

Alexandra King

Therefore, to date, no standard treatment has been established; therapeutic options include extended-field (EF) and involved-field (IF) radiotherapy, and combined modality (CM) approaches. In response to this lack of standard treatment, the German Hodgkin Study Group has recently published a retrospective analysis of its response, survival, and toxicity data for different treatment options in patients with stage IA LPHL without risk factors.
