Early and late follow-up of patients with Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Recommendations of the Polish Lymphoma Research Group
Oncol Clin Pract 2015;11(6):300-309.
Abstract
Post-treatment follow-up of patients with Hodgkin’s lymphoma has not yet been fully optimised and is still based mainly on clinical practice and experience. During the first years of follow-up, the principal aims are to detect relapse and monitor any post-treatment complications or side effects. Such as they are, current guidelines on follow-up are herein considered and discussed, together with those now recommended by the Polish Lymphoma Research Group.
