Combination Chemotherapy +/- Radiation in High Risk Hodgkin's Disease

Overview[ - collapse ][ - ]

Purpose Patients with 3 or more adverse prognostic factors have a higher relapse rate. Significant anti-tumor activity in Hodgkin’s lymphoma has been reported with two new drugs:gemcitabine and vinorelbine. The introduction of these new agents with their different mechanisms of action into the Stanford V regimen may increase effectiveness while maintaining a favorable toxicity profile with respect to fertility and a low risk of secondary leukemia. On this basis, we propose a new regimen, Stanford VI, for patients with bulky and advanced HD with 3 or more risk factors.

Brief Summary
Patients with 3 or more adverse prognostic factors have a higher relapse rate. Significant
anti-tumor activity in Hodgkin’s lymphoma has been reported with two new drugs:gemcitabine
and vinorelbine. The introduction of these new agents with their different mechanisms of
action into the Stanford V regimen may increase effectiveness while maintaining a favorable
toxicity profile with respect to fertility and a low risk of secondary leukemia. On this
basis, we propose a new regimen, Stanford VI, for patients with bulky and advanced HD with 3
or more risk factors.
Detailed Description
Patients will receive chemotherapy weekly for 19 weeks, alone or followed by irradiation as
indicated per protocol guidelines.
