The development of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma following therapy for Hodgkin's disease

Abstract: Three patients developed non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) 3-6 years after treatment for Hodgkin's disease (HD). In no instance was there evidence of recurrence of HD following the initial chemotherapy or radiotherapy. None of these patients had received both radiation therapy and chemotherapy. The histologic classification of the developing of the developing NHL for the three patients was (1) diffuse, poorly differentiated lymphocytic, (2) nodular histocytic, and (3) nodular, poorly differentiated lymphocytic.

“…Several reports have focused on the apparently high incidence of NHL after treatment for HD, reported to be 4.4% at 10 years after diagnosis. 6,19,20 A recent populationbased study found a greater than 5-fold increased incidence of NHL in patients previously given a diagnosis of HD. 21 A surprising fraction of these lymphomas are T-cell lymphomas; in 3 large series that identified patients with both HD and NHL, 17 (33%) of 51 cases had T-cell NHL.…”

“…Non-Hodgkin lymphomas and Hodgkin lymphomas concurrency in the same patient has been noted for several decades. [1][2][3] All types of NHLs could be found, but the most common association is between diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and nodular lymphocyte predominant Hodgkin lymphoma (NLPHL). 4 Some patients with previous HL can also develop T-NHL in up to 33% of cases.…”

“…Approximately 75% of patients with Hodgkin's disease (HD), regardless of the stage, may achieve long-term survival on modern treatment regimes,[ 1 ] but they are at an increased risk of developing a histologically unrelated second primary malignancy as a treatment complication. [ 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 ] Three types of second primary malignancy are recognized: Solid tumors, leukemia's and non-Hodgkins lymphoma (NHL), of which solid tumors of visceral organs constitute up to three quarters of all cases of second primary malignancy. [ 3 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 ] The development of second primary malignancies is related to the extent of the initial treatment, whether chemotherapy (CT), radiotherapy (RT) or a combination of chemo- and radiotherapy (CCRT) was employed, gender and age when treatment was initiated.…”
