SOHO 2024 | How to approach the treatment of elderly/unfit patients with Hodgkin lymphoma
Stephen Ansell, MD, PhD, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN, discusses how to approach the treatment of elderly or unfit patients with Hodgkin lymphoma (HL). Dr Ansell highlights that the use of the AVD chemotherapy regimen (doxorubicin, vinblastine, and dacarbazine) with either nivolumab or brentuximab vedotin is the preferred therapeutic strategy, providing that the patient’s fitness is appropriate. In very frail patients, a single-agent approach may be more feasible to provide a degree of disease control. This interview took place at the Twelfth Annual Meeting of the Society of Hematologic Oncology (SOHO 2024) congress in Houston, TX.
