Women, Men, Lifestyle Who We Are About WebMD Site Map Public Information from the National Cancer Institute Archive What You Need to Know about Hodgkin's Disease By The National Cancer Institute WebMD Public Information from the National Cancer Institute Archive Introduction The diagnosis of cancer brings with it many questions and a need for clear, understandable answers. This National Cancer Institute (NCI) booklet is intended to help people with Hodgkin's disease and their families and friends better understand this type of cancer. We hope others will read it as well to learn more about this disease. This booklet discusses symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment. It also has information about resources and sources of support for people with Hodgkin's disease. Cancer research has led to real progress against Hodgkin's disease increased survival rates and improved quality of life. Most people diagnosed with Hodgkin's disease can now be cured, or their disease can be controlled for many years. Continuing research offers hope that, in the future, even more people with this disease will be treated successfully. Each achievement in laboratories and clinics brings researchers closer to the eventual control of Hodgkin's disease. The Cancer Information Service and the other NCI can provide the latest, most accurate information on cancer as well as information about services and sources of support. Other publications are available from the Cancer Information Service at 1-800-4-CANCER.

Encyclopedia Index H Home Encyclopedia Encyclopedia Index H Hodgkin's disease Definition Hodgkin's disease is a rare lymphoma, a cancer of the lymphatic system. Description Hodgkin's disease, or Hodgkin's lymphoma, was first described in 1832 by Thomas Hodgkin, a British physician. Hodgkin clearly differentiated between this disease and the much more common non-Hodgkin's lymphomas. Prior to 1970, few individuals survived Hodgkin's disease. Now, however, the majority of individuals with this cancer can be cured. The lymphatic system The lymphatic system is part of the body's immune system, for fighting disease, and a part of the blood-producing system. It includes the lymph vessels and nodes, and the spleen, bone marrow, and thymus. The narrow lymphatic vessels carry lymphatic fluid from throughout the body. The lymph nodes are small organs that filter the lymphatic fluid and trap foreign substances, including viruses, bacteria, and cancer cells. The spleen, in the upper left abdomen, removes old cells and debris from the blood. The bone marrow, the tissue inside the bones, produces new red and white blood cells. Lymphocytes are white blood cells that recognize and destroy disease-causing organisms. Lymphocytes are produced in the lymph nodes, spleen, and bone marrow. They circulate throughout the body in the blood and lymphatic fluid. Clusters of immune cells also exist in major organs.

H O D G K I N ' S D I S E A S E Hodgkin's Disease is a "malignant lymphoma" virtually always starting in lymph nodes, formerly called "reticulum, cell sarcoma". It is a " lympho-reticular disease " that was first recognized by Thomas Hodgkins in 1832, who noted enlarged lymph nodes in patients not attributable to inflammation. Since then, there has been a continual sub-classification of the malignant lymphoma's, most notably into Hodgkin's and Non-Hodgkin's types. The classic binuceated "owl's eyes" cells, termed " Reed-Stemberg " are believed derived from lymphoctyes or the monocyte-macrophage "antigen presenting" cells, and are pathognemonic for Hodgkin's Disease, which comprises 40% of malignant lymphomas. Epidemiology and Risk Factors for Hodgkin's Disease: There are 8400 new cases of Hodgkin's in the U.S.A. each year, causing 1900 deaths. The incidence of Hodgkin's has remained fairly constant over the past 50 years. A small male predominance is seen, the male to female ratio is 1:3:1. In childhood cases, 85% are male. A " bimodal " age distribution is seen for Hodgkin's, with one cluster of cases in the 2nd to 3rd decade, and a second cluster in the 7th decade. In industrials countries, the disease tends to occur at a later age than in underdeveloped countries. The disease is rare in children under 10 years old. There are proportionately more cases in the older age group peak than in the younger age group. It accounts for 0.75 of the new cancer cases in the U.S.A./year.

Patients who underwent chemo were 14 times more likely to develop leukemia and 6 times more likely to develop cancers of the bones, joints, and soft tissues than those patients who did not undergo chemotherapy (NCI Journal 87:10)."—John Diamond Children who are successfully treated for Hodgkin's disease are 18 times more likely later to develop secondary malignant tumours. Girls face a 35 per cent chance of developing breast cancer by the time they are 40which is 75 times greater than the average. The risk of leukemia increased markedly four years after the ending of successful treatment, and reached a plateau after 14 years, but the risk of developing solid tumours remained high and approached 30 per cent at 30 years (New Eng J Med, March 21, 1996)

Arvin S. Glicksman, M.D. June 2001 Hodgkin's Disease is a disease that attacks young people, usually between the ages of 10 and 25, which probably accounts for its notoriety. Forty years ago the standard textbook of medicine categorized Hodgkin's Disease as an invariably fatal illness. Today the disease is almost uniformly curable. It is a triumph of oncology in the latter half of the twentieth century. We found that radiotherapy to the affected lymph nodes could produce a cure. We also found that combination chemotherapy could produce a cure.

Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center LYMPHOMA (INCLUDING HODGKIN'S DISEASE) About this Cancer Lymphoma is a cancer of the body’s lymphatic system. The lymphatic system helps the body to fight infection. The lymphatic system is composed of many glands which are located throughout the body—in the neck, armpits, chest, abdomen, and groin. Tiny lymph vessels connect the glands. The spleen, which breaks down old blood cells, and tonsils are also part of the lymphatic system. Lymphomas are typically classified as a Hodgkins’s Disease or Hodgkin’s lymphoma or non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Hodgkin’s Disease is a rapidly growing cancer named for the doctor who first described it in 1832, Dr. Thomas Hodgkin, and characterized by the presence of a specific type of cancer cell (Reed-Sternberg cells). Lymphomas that do not have the Hodgkin’s Disease characteristic cell are called non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas Hodgkin’s Disease is the most common form of lymphoma seen in children, with 10 to 15 percent of cases diagnosed in children under 16. On the other hand, just five percent of all Non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas occur in children.

EDITORIAL Radiation Therapy in the Treatment of Hodgkin’s Disease—Do You See What I See? Dan L. Longo Correspondence to: Dan L.

Science is simply common sense at its best—that is, rigidly accurate in observation, and merciless to fallacy in logic. —Thomas H. Huxley Controversy is an integral part of nearly all major progress in science and medicine. One exception is the development of an active therapy where no previous therapy was effective. A field generally has no problem adopting a novel active treatment. However, when newer approaches are found that are either safer or more effective or both, they sometimes have trouble displacing an established approach. And so it is with the role of radiation therapy in the treatment of Hodgkin’s disease. Historically, radiation therapy was the first curative therapy for Hodgkin’s disease. Technical innovations in radiation equipment and clever designs of radiation fields brought us to the point where patients without B symptoms and with disease localized to one side of the diaphragm could have the Hodgkin’s disease permanently eradicated in 80%–85% of cases. Patients with B symptoms and with more advanced disease fared considerably worse.

In 1997, the most recent year for which figures are currently available, 57 new cases were recorded in New Zealand. Hodgkin's Disease is very sensitive to both chemotherapy and radiotherapy. The majority of patients undergoing treatment with these therapies can expect to be cured. The choice of treatment depends on a number of factors, such as age, and stage of disease (see below). Without treatment, this disease can be expected to progress rapidly.

Hodgkin's Disease Hodgkin's disease is one of a group of cancers called lymphomas . Lymphoma is a general term for cancers that develop in the lymphatic system. Hodgkin's disease, an uncommon lymphoma, accounts for less than 1 percent of all cases of cancer in this country. At this time, the cause or causes of Hodgkin's disease are not known, and doctors can seldom explain why one person gets this disease and another does not. It is clear, however, that Hodgkin's disease is not caused by an injury, and it is not contagious; no one can "catch" this disease from another person. By studying patterns of cancer in the population, researchers have found certain risk factors that are more common in people who get Hodgkin's disease than in those who do not. However, most people with these risk factors do not get Hodgkin's disease, and many who do get this disease have none of the known risk factors. The following are some of the risk factors associated with this disease: Age/Sex Family History Viruses To learn more about Hodgkin's disease treatment and research at Duke Comprehensive Cancer Center, please contact the
