Abstrakt: Highlights from the article: Classical Hodgkin lymphoma (CHL) accounts for approximately 10% of all lymphomas, and about 20% of patients experience relapse or primary refractory disease. In this group, autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) has become the standard of care.[[1]] Several groups have pointed out prognostic factors among these high-risk patients.[[3]] To our knowledge, there is no large cohort of relapsed and refractory CHL patients in Latin America. Refractory patients were defined as obtaining less than a complete remission (CR) or partial remission (PR) at the end of first-line chemotherapy, and relapsed patients were those who relapsed after achieving a CR for at least 3 months. 3 Patients not immediately referred to ASCT at progression/relapse due to patient initial refusal or because frontline ASCT was not the standard therapy at our institution in the 1990's.
