Abstrakt: B Background: b Elderly Hodgkin Lymphoma (HL) patients (pts) are poorly characterized and underrepresented in high-quality studies. Hospital and other health-care records were reviewed and pts grouped according to treatment into ineligible (no HL directed treatment), palliative (intended dose intensity <50%) or curative (>50% intended dose intensity of HL regimens or curative radiotherapy only). B Conclusion: b In this national population-based study, 32% of pts received either palliative or no treatment directed specifically at HL, and these accounted for a substantial proportion of excess mortality of HL. 10% of pts had other previous or concomitant malignant lymphoproliferative diseases.
