Relapsed HL Evaluation Above the diaphragm Chest radiograph, Computed tomography Below the Computed tomography diaphragm or ultrasonography Tumor activity Gallium scan 18 FDG Positron (Functional imaging) emission tomography (PET)

Relapsed HL Evaluation Bone marrow All patients biopsies Bone scan If there is bone pain, elevated alkaline phosphatase, or other sites of extranodal disease

Relapsed HL Evaluation Lymph node biopsy or fine needle aspirate Relapse therapy should NEVER be started without histologic confirmation of relapse. Evaluation of suspected relapse is the ONLY time a fine needle aspirate should be used for diagnosis of lymphoma in children.

Relapsed Hodgkin Lymphoma Treatment • Depends on initial treatment – Low-intensity (< 4 chemo cycles) – High-intensity (>4 cycles + RT) • Depends on the timing of relapse – PD on therapy, early, late, very late • Depends on the extent of relapse – Localized versus extensive • Depends on the site of relapse – Nodal versus extranodal

Treatment of HL after First Relapse • Standard salvage regimen • Intensive salvage regimen

Relapsed Hodgkin Lymphoma Treatment • Depends on initial treatment – Low-intensity (< 4 chemo cycles) – High-intensity (>4 cycles + RT) • Depends on the timing of relapse – PD on therapy, early, late, very late • Depends on the extent of relapse – Localized versus extensive • Depends on the site of relapse – Nodal versus extranodal

Treatment of HL after First Relapse • Standard salvage regimen – Similar to initial therapy for advanced stage disease – 6 -8 cycles of chemotherapy – Radiation therapy 20 -30 Gy • Intensive salvage regimen – Intense cytoreduction – Very intense consolidation (with stem cell rescue) – Radiation therapy 20 -36 Gy

Pediatric Hodgkin Lymphoma Initial Treatment Regimens • MOPP and derivatives –COPP, Chl. VPP, CVPP, OPPA • ABVD and derivatives –OEPA, DBVE, VBVP, VAMP • Stanford V • BEACOPP

Treatment of HL after First Relapse • Standard salvage regimen – Similar to initial therapy for advanced stage disease – 6 -8 cycles of chemotherapy – Radiation therapy 20 -30 Gy • Intensive salvage regimen – Intense cytoreduction – Very intense consolidation (with stem cell rescue) – Radiation therapy 20 -36 Gy

Relapsed Hodgkin Lymphoma Treatment Schema • Induction (cytoreduction) • Consolidation #1 – chemotherapy vs – high dose chemotherapy with autologous stem cell rescue • Consolidation #2 – radiation therapy

Treatment Schema for Relapsed HL Cytoreduction (Chemotherapy) Consolidation 1 CR or nice PR (Intense Chemotherapy) No PD Consolidation 2 (RT)

Cytoreduction Regimens • ICE: Ifosfamide, Carboplatin, Etoposide • MIED: High-dose MTX, Ifosfamide, Etoposide, Dexamethasone • MIME: Methylguazone, Ifosfamide, Methotrexate, Etoposide • ESHAP/ASHAP: Etoposide/Adriamycin, Solumedrol, High-dose-Ara. C, Cisplatin • IV: Ifosfamide/vinorelbine • GV: Gemcitibine/vinorelbine
