Abstract
Brentuximab vedotin (BV) has obtained approval for the therapeutic management of classical Hodgkin lymphoma as well as systemic anaplastic large cell lymphoma. Given the inherent constraints of conventional clinical trials, the correlation between BV and cardiac adverse events (AEs) remains enigmatic. The objective of this investigation is to comprehensively assess cardiac AEs attributed to BV by employing advanced data mining techniques, utilizing the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS). The indices for the assessment of disproportionality encompass the reporting odds ratio (ROR), the proportional reporting ratio, the information component, and the empirical Bayesian geometric mean. Employing these sophisticated metrics, we gauged the extent of disproportionate occurrences. The dataset was sourced from the FAERS from the first quarter of 2012 to first quarter of 2023, facilitating a comprehensive analysis of the potential correlation between BV and cardiac AEs. This scrutiny encompassed a comparative analysis of both cardiac and non-cardiac AEs. A total of 495 cases of BV's cardiac AEs were discerned, with the identification of 31 preferred terms (PTs). Among these, 8 PTs emerged as conspicuous signals of cardiac AEs, notably encompassing ventricular hypokinesia (ROR 7.59), tachyarrhythmia (ROR 7.06), sinus tachycardia (ROR 6.18), cardiopulmonary failure (ROR 4.44), pericardial effusion (ROR 4.32), acute coronary syndrome (ROR 4.02), cardiomyopathy (ROR 3.30), and tachycardia (ROR 2.76). The manifestation of severe outcomes demonstrates a discernible correlation with the cardiac AEs (P < 0.001). Our investigation furnishes invaluable insights for healthcare practitioners to proactively mitigate the incidence of BV-associated cardiac AEs.

Long-term cause-specific mortality in adolescent and young adult Hodgkin lymphoma patients treated with contemporary regimens-A nationwide Danish cohort study. Br J Haematol 2024.

Abstract
The documented treatment-induced excess mortality in Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) has spurred important treatment changes over recent decades. This study aimed to examine mortality among young HL patients treated with contemporary strategies, including historical data comparison. This nationwide study included 1348 HL patients, diagnosed in 1995-2015 and aged 15-40 at diagnosis. Among the patients, 66.5% had Ann Arbor stage I-II and 33.5% had stage III-IV disease. With a median follow-up of 14.76 years, 139 deaths occurred, yielding a 5-year overall survival of 94.6%. Older age, advanced disease, earlier treatment periods and extensive regimens were associated with higher overall mortality risk. The cumulative risk of HL-related death showed an initial sharp rise, with a plateau at 5.3% 10-year post-diagnosis. Deaths due to cardiovascular or pulmonary diseases and second cancers initially had minimal risk, gradually reaching 1.2% and 2.0% at the 20-year mark respectively. HL cases had a 7.5-fold higher mortality hazard than the background population. This study suggests that contemporary HL treatment still poses excess mortality risk, but recent changes have notably reduced overall and cause-specific mortality compared to earlier eras. Balancing treatment efficacy and toxicity remains crucial, but our findings highlight improved outcomes with modern treatment approaches.

Abstract
Hodgkin lymphoma is a rare, but highly curative form of cancer, primarily afflicting adolescents and young adults. Despite multiple seminal trials over the past twenty years, there is no single consensus-based treatment approach beyond use of multi-agency chemotherapy with curative intent. The use of radiation continues to be debated in early-stage disease, as part of combined modality treatment, as well as in salvage, as an important form of consolidation. While short-term disease outcomes have varied little across these different approaches across both early and advanced stage disease, the potential risk of severe, longer-term risk has varied considerably. Over the past decade novel therapeutics have been employed in the retrieval setting in preparation to and as consolidation after autologous stem cell transplant. More recently, these novel therapeutics have moved to the frontline setting, initially compared to standard-of-care treatment and later in a direct head-to-head comparison combined with multi-agent chemotherapy. In 2018, we established the HoLISTIC Consortium, bringing together disease and methods experts to develop clinical decision models based on individual patient data to guide providers, patients, and caregivers in decision-making. In this review, we detail the steps we followed to create the master database of individual patient data from patients treated over the past 20 years, using principles of data science. We then describe different methodological approaches we are taking to clinical decision making, beginning with clinical prediction tools at the time of diagnosis, to multi-state models, incorporating treatments and their response. Finally, we describe how simulation modeling can be used to estimate risks of late effects, based on cumulative exposure from frontline and salvage treatment. The resultant database and tools employed are dynamic with the expectation that they will be updated as better and more complete information becomes available.

Abstract
Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) is a rare type of B-cell malignancy with bimodal age distribution targeting young adults and elderly. Prognostic models are available to identify risk of recurrence and response to treatment. Currently, positron emission tomography scanning is most useful in optimizing therapy. Outcomes are generally excellent with standard chemotherapy or combined modality therapy. Balancing efficacy and the risk of late effects in Hodgkin lymphoma is essential, including early detection of potential complications. Incorporation of novel therapies such as brentuximab vedotin and checkpoint inhibitors are being explored in the frontline setting, having already demonstrated improved survival and tolerable toxicity in advanced HL. Furthermore, the addition of these agents have the potential to transform treatment paradigms for early-stage HL and may result in improved outcomes with decreased risks of late toxicities that continue to afflict long-term survivors. However, the patient population, sequencing, and combinations with cytotoxic chemotherapy all remain still standing questions as results of current and upcoming randomized trials are awaited. In this article, we discuss the current data on the approach to initial treatment of early-stage classical HL, review toxicity profiles, and examine upcoming novel therapy trials.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Disease-specific studies on the impact of Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) on education or work interruption and resumption are lacking. MATERIAL AND METHODS In a cross-sectional study conducted among long-term HL survivors enrolled from 1964 to 2004 in nine randomised EORTC-LYSA trials, the interruption and resumption of education/work was investigated. Survivors alive 5-44 years after diagnosis who were studying or working at time of diagnosis were included (n = 1646). Patient and treatment characteristics were obtained from trial records. Education and work outcomes were collected using the Life Situation Questionnaire. Logistic regression was used to model education or work interruption; Cox regression was used to study resumption rates. RESULTS Among survivors studying at time of diagnosis (n = 323), 52% (95% CI: 46-57%) interrupted their education; however, it was resumed within 24 months by 92% (95% CI: 87-96%). The probability of interruption decreased with time: the more recent the treatment era, the lower the risk (OR 0.70 per 10 years, 95% CI: 0.49-1.01). Treatment with radiotherapy (yes vs. no) was associated with a higher education resumption rate (HR 2.01, 95% CI 1.07-3.78) whereas age, sex, stage, radiotherapy field and chemotherapy were not.Among survivors working at time of diagnosis (n = 1323), 77% (95% CI: 75-79%) interrupted their work. However, it was resumed within 24 months by 86% (95% CI: 84%-88%). Women were more likely to interrupt their work as compared to men (OR 1.90, 95% CI: 1.44-2.51) and, when interrupted, less likely to resume work (HR 0.70, 95% CI: 0.61-0.80). Survivors with a higher educational level were less likely to interrupt their work (OR 0.68 for university vs. no high school, 95% CI: 0.46-1.03); and when interrupted, more likely to resume work (HR 1.50 for university vs. no high school, 95% CI: 1.21-1.86). Increasing age was also associated with lower resumption rates (HR 0.62 for age ≥50 vs. 18-29 years, 95% CI: 0.41-0.94). CONCLUSION An interruption in education/work was common among long-term HL survivors. However, most of the survivors who interrupted their studies or work had resumed their activities within 24 months. In this study, no associations between survivors' characteristics and failure to resume education were observed. Female sex, age ≥50 years, and a lower level of education were found to be associated with not resuming work after treatment for HL.

Abstract
Studies have shown higher survival rates for patients with Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) treated within clinical trials compared to patients treated outside clinical trials. However, endpoints are often limited to overall survival (OS). In this retrospective cohort study, we investigated the effect of trial participation on OS, the incidence of relapse, second cancer, and cardiovascular disease (CVD). The study population consisted of patients with HL, aged between 14 and 51 years at diagnosis, who started their treatment between 1962 and 2002 at three Dutch cancer centres. Patients were either included in the EORTC Lymphoma Group trials (H1-H9) or treated according to standard guidelines at the time. After adjusting for differences in baseline characteristics, trial participation was associated with longer OS (median OS: 29.4 years [95%CI: 27.0-31.6] for treatment inside trials versus 27.4 years [95%CI: 26.0-28.5] for treatment outside trials, p = .046), a lower incidence of relapse (HR = 0.79, 95%CI: 0.63-0.98, p = .036) and a higher incidence of CVD (HR = 1.49, 95%CI: 1.23-1.79, p < .001). The trial effect for CVD was present only for patients treated before 1983. No evidence of differences in the incidence of second cancer was found. Consequently, essential results from clinical trials should be implemented into standard practice without undue delay.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hodgkin lymphoma and non-Hodgkin lymphoma are hematologic malignancies of the lymphatic system with increased prevalence in young adults. Numerous studies have examined the health-related quality of life dimensions in young adults with lymphoma; yet, limited research has investigated the experiences of this population. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to explore the lived experiences of young adults with Hodgkin lymphoma and non-Hodgkin lymphoma ( n = 8) receiving acute treatment from one National Cancer Institute-Designated Cancer Center in the Northeastern United States. METHODS A qualitative interpretive phenomenological study design and method was applied to explore the lived experiences of young adults with lymphoma during acute survivorship. RESULTS The participants lived experiences were shaped by the diagnostic challenges and impediments of cancer and lymphoma in young adults. Through postdiagnosis, they were determined to safeguard parents and close family members from the burden of cancer. The bonds between medical oncologists and nurses offered the participants a dynamic structure to endure acute survivorship. CONCLUSION Cancer was challenging to diagnose in this sample of young adults with lymphoma. The presence of nurses was shown to be deeply impactful for young adults with lymphoma. More research is necessary to understand the experiences of young adults with lymphoma through extended or long-term survivorship. IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE Healthcare providers require additional education regarding the diagnostic guidelines in young adult patients with lymphoma. This study underscores the importance of well-defined and structured postdiagnosis survivorship care in young adults with lymphoma.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE With increasing cancer incidence and survival rates, follow-up care becomes a major healthcare concern, placing increased demands on general practitioners (GPs). We explored GPs' awareness of late effects (LEs) after cancer treatment. Their degree of involvement and attitudes towards follow-up care was studied separately for solid cancers and Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL). DESIGN AND SETTING Mailed questionnaire study in Norwegian general practice. SUBJECTS 185 responding GPs with responsibility for HL survivors, more than 10 years since diagnosis. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES AND RESULTS All GPs reported some awareness of LEs. Increasing awareness of LEs was associated with female sex, being a specialist, having experience from hospital-based cancer care and familiarity with official guidelines on LEs after treatment. The majority of GPs were involved in follow-up care, which increased with patients' time since treatment and was associated with higher awareness of LEs. GPs with work experience in hospital-based cancer care were more likely to be engaged in HL follow-up. Most GPs were willing to provide follow-up care at some point after treatment. Older and more experienced GPs, and those satisfied with the collaboration with hospital specialists, were more likely to provide follow-up earlier. CONCLUSION GPs' awareness of LEs and their willingness to provide follow-up care were related to familiarity with guidelines and experience. GPs more involved in follow-up care also had higher knowledge of LEs. Distribution of guidelines on LEs and follow-up care, and improving collaboration with hospital specialists, might increase GPs' knowledge and willingness to become involved in follow-up care, especially early in their careers. GPs' involvement and attitude towards follow-up of survivors of common solid cancers and HL, a rare malignant disease, were similar.KEY POINTSNorwegian general practitioners (GPs) are involved in survivorship care after cancer treatment. We investigated their awareness of late effects (LEs), their involvement and their attitude towards follow-up care of solid cancers and Hodgkin's lymphoma. • GPs registered as specialists, aware of guidelines and with experience from hospital-based cancer care reported higher awareness of LEs. • GPs with higher awareness of LEs were more frequently involved in follow-up care. • GPs with longer experience in general practice were comfortable with follow-up care at an earlier stage after treatment. • Results were similar for follow-up care of survivors of solid cancers and Hodgkin's lymphoma.

Abstract
Purpose The benefit of radiation therapy (RT) becomes uncertain in the treatment of early stage diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) in the era of rituximab, positron emission topography (PET), and computed tomography (CT). We sought to retrospectively review modern patients with early stage I-II DLBCL treated with rituximab and staged by PET-CT to better define which patients benefit from consolidative RT. Methods and Materials Patients with early stage I-II DLBCL from 1998 to 2017 were reviewed coinciding with our institutional utilization of rituximab with the standard regimen of cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone and PET-CT. Relevant clinical information was used to calculate National Comprehensive Cancer Network international prognostic index (IPI) scores. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and a Cox proportional hazards model were used for overall survival (OS). Results Seventy-seven patients received chemoimmunotherapy alone, and 41 received chemoimmunotherapy plus RT. Median follow-up time was 9.5 years. On univariate analysis, extranodal disease (P = .04) and National Comprehensive Cancer Network IPI (P < .001) were significantly correlated with OS. Five-year OS was 87% versus 67%, and 10-year OS was 67% versus 58%, numerically higher favoring RT (P = .16). On multivariate Cox regression analysis of OS controlling for IPI and extranodal disease, the addition of RT was associated with improved OS (hazard ratio of 0.4, P = .01). Conclusions The current analysis supports the use of consolidative RT in early stage DLBCL given an OS benefit on multivariate analysis. Further prospective randomized data are needed to confirm these findings.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hodgkin lymphoma has a bimodal age distribution with the first peak occurring within young adulthood and the second, among older adults. Although current therapy provides excellent disease control, survivors are at risk of developing treatment-related late effects (LEs). We sought to understand how survivors in active survivorship care perceived their role in treatment decision-making and when they acquired an understanding of LEs. METHODS Semi-structured interviews were conducted until saturation was reached. Themes were identified through direct content analysis and consensus coding by a multidisciplinary team of coders, including hematology/oncology providers, patient navigators, and survivor stakeholders. RESULTS Seventeen interviews were conducted. Role in initial treatment decision-making fluctuated between passive and active engagement with providers identified as being crucial to this process. Half of interviewees (53%) expressed unmet information needs. Survivors reported having learned about LEs at multiple time points, spanning from before treatment commenced through when a LE was diagnosed. The majority (71%) expressed a desire to have learned about LEs before initial treatment ended. The impact of cancer and fertility discussions were also disclosed. DISCUSSION Participants highlighted the importance of discussions on LEs early in the care continuum. These preliminary data will be incorporated in a planned treatment decision-making tool that incorporates information on potential LEs. IMPLICATIONS FOR CANCER SURVIVORS Patient-centered communication approaches should be embraced to assist in treatment decision-making, while considering long-term health consequences. Survivors must be educated on their risk of LEs and encouraged to disclose their perspectives and preferences with their providers to optimize outcomes.

Abstract
Classical Hodgkin lymphoma is one of the more frequent lymphomas and is generally considered a highly curable disease with standard first-line chemotherapy and radiotherapy in some cases. Despite these outstanding results, major problems remain unresolved. First, there are still patients who will not be cured with front-line regimens and, second, many patients who are cured of classical Hodgkin lymphoma continue to die prematurely due to the late toxic effects of their therapy. Because the median age of patients with classical Hodgkin lymphoma is in the mid-30s, the disease's impact on the number of years lost from productive life is remarkable. In recent years, the gold standard of chemotherapy (often combined with radiotherapy) has changed, with the approval of immunotherapy mostly in relapse settings.

Abstract
The management of Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) has undergone significant changes in recent years. Due to the predilection of HL to affect younger patients, balancing cure and treatment-related morbidity is a constant source of concern for physicians and patients alike. Positron emission tomography adapted therapy has been developed for both early and advanced stage HL to try and improve the outcome of treatment, while minimising toxicities. The aim of this review is to digest the plethora of studies recently conducted and provide some clear, evidence-based practice statements to simplify the management of HL.

Perceptions of Role in Treatment Decision Making and Understanding of Late Effects Among Hodgkin Lymphoma Survivors: Results From a National Survey HL Decision Making and Late Effects. CLINICAL LYMPHOMA MYELOMA & LEUKEMIA 2021; 22:e65-e69. [PMID: 34452864 DOI: 10.1016/j.clml.2021.07.034] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/09/2021] [Revised: 07/27/2021] [Accepted: 07/30/2021] [Indexed: 11/29/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Hodgkin Lymphoma (HL) survivors are at risk of treatment-related late effects (LEs). With these potential risks and increasing numbers of treatment options for newly diagnosed patients, communication and shared decision making are essential to supporting patients throughout the cancer care continuum. We aimed to gather perspectives of HL survivors about their actual role in treatment decision making and their understanding of LEs. MATERIALS AND METHODS After initial pilot testing at a cancer survivor conference, we disseminated a 23-question survey in a single-wave e-mail through the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's national listserv. We focused on 4 constructs: (1) patient's understanding of HL at diagnosis; (2) initial discussions with an oncologist; (3) factors in decision making of treatment, and (4) current health status. RESULTS A total of 135 participants responded to the survey. While 73% of survey respondents perceived some involvement in decision making, one-half of respondents felt the treatment plan was a shared decision with their provider. Among patient-level factors, side effects/LEs were most frequently endorsed as important to treatment decisions. Eighty-four percent of respondents had been educated about risk for potential LEs. Thirty-six percent had been diagnosed with a LE at the time of survey completion with 3% reporting a second cancer diagnosis. CONCLUSION Survey respondents described their role in treatment decision making for newly diagnosed HL. Nearly half of patients did not endorse participating in shared decision making. A substantial number had experienced LEs. Future work should focus on improving patient-provider communication in decision processes for newly diagnosed HL.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) is highly curable, but survivors often develop function-limiting impairments. Screening guidelines for neuromuscular and musculoskeletal late effects are not as well recognized across medical disciplines. Early identification and management of functional late effects are instrumental in improving the longitudinal care of HL survivors. OBJECTIVE To define the prevalence of neuromuscular, musculoskeletal, visceral, oncologic, and other late effects affecting function and quality of life (QOL) in HL survivors. DESIGN A retrospective cohort analysis. SETTING Outpatient cancer rehabilitation clinic. PARTICIPANTS One hundred HL survivors. INTERVENTIONS Not applicable. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Prevalence of neuromuscular, musculoskeletal, visceral, oncologic, and other late effects contributing to functional impairment and disability in HL survivors. RESULTS Among the 100 HL survivors, 43% received chemotherapy, 94% radiation therapy, and 38% a combination of chemo-radiation for their initial cancer treatment. Nearly all HL survivors were diagnosed with myelopathy (83%), radiculoplexopathy (93%), mononeuropathy (95%), and localized myopathy (93%). Musculoskeletal sequelae included dropped head syndrome (83%), cervicalgia (79%), shoulder girdle dysfunction (73%), and dysphagia (42%). Visceral disorders included cardiovascular (70%), pulmonary (44%), endocrine (63%), gastrointestinal (29%), and genitourinary (11%) dysfunction. Lymphedema affected 21% of survivors and 30% had a history of a secondary malignancy. Pain (71%), fatigue (45%), and dyspnea (43%) were major function-limiting impairments. Nearly all (95%) of survivors were referred to at least one therapy discipline including physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech and language pathology, and/or lymphedema therapy. CONCLUSION Neuromuscular, musculoskeletal, visceral, oncologic, and other late effects are extremely common in HL survivors seeking physiatric evaluation. Multiple function-limiting disorders can coexist in HL survivors with the potential to severely compromise function and QOL. Safe and effective rehabilitation may depend on the physiatrist's ability to identify, evaluate, and manage the multitude of complex and often interrelated functional late effects seen in HL survivors.

ABVD followed by BV consolidation in risk-stratified patients with limited-stage Hodgkin lymphoma. Blood Adv 2021; 4:2548-2555.

Abstract
Approximately 90% of limited-stage Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) patients are projected to be cured with standard therapy, but many do not live their expected life span because of late treatment-related complications. New treatment paradigms are needed to reduce the use of radiation therapy (RT) as well as conventional chemotherapy drugs while improving upon current standard-of-care survival outcomes. In this phase 2 multicenter study, patients with non-bulky limited-stage HL received doxorubicin, bleomycin, vinblastine, and dacarbazine (ABVD) followed by brentuximab vedotin (BV) consolidation. Forty-one patients were enrolled, and patient characteristics included median age of 29 years (range, 19 to 67 years), 58% were female, 45% had unfavorable disease, and 98% had stage II disease. Based on positron emission tomography (PET)-based risk stratification, patients received 2 to 6 cycles of ABVD followed by 6 cycles of BV. After ABVD followed by BV, 95% of evaluable patients (37 out of 39; 95% confidence interval [CI], 83%-99%) achieved PET-negative status. In the intent-to-treat patient population, the estimated 3-year progression-free survival (PFS) rate was 92%, and the overall survival (OS) rate was 97%, with a median follow-up of 47 months. All 37 patients who achieved negative PET status after BV consolidation effectively avoided RT and remain in remission with estimated 3-year PFS and OS rates of 100%. In conclusion, BV demonstrates encouraging clinical activity when it follows ABVD therapy in limited-stage HL. Early incorporation of BV may reduce the use of RT as well as conventional chemotherapy drugs while achieving favorable survival outcomes in risk-stratified patients with non-bulky limited-stage HL. This trial was registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov as #NCT01578967.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The historically feared radiation-induced secondary cancers and cardiac toxicities observed among mediastinal classical Hodgkin Lymphoma (cHL) patients may still negatively burden the benefit of radiotherapy among long-term survivors. Modern radiotherapy (RT) delivery techniques, including intensity-modulated RT (IMRT) and deep inspiration breath-hold (DIBH) solutions, are drastically changing this scenario. Results of a literature overview are reported and discussed in this paper. MATERIALS AND METHODS Key references were derived from a PubMed query. Hand searching and clinicaltrials.gov were also used. RESULTS This paper contains a narrative report and a critical discussion of organs-at-risk dose-volume metrics linked with radiation-induced toxicities in cHL patients. CONCLUSIONS The scenario of early-stage cHL presents long-life expectancies, thus the goal of treatment should aim at maintaining high cure rates and limiting the onset of late complications. Further evaluations of dosimetric measures and clinical outcomes are warranted to identify patients at higher risk to target treatment tailoring.

Abstract
Radiation-induced myopathy (RIM) is a rare complication occurring years after radiotherapy. RIM basically occurs within the irradiation field, but some cases have been reported to be accommodated by myopathy outside the irradiation field, and the actual extent of RIM is obscure. The presented case also showed decreased MMT scores and abnormal needle electromyography results in the muscles outside the irradiated field, and the patient was initially thought to have RIM both within and outside the irradiated field. However, while systemic postmortem muscle sampling revealed prominent myopathy in line with RIM in the irradiated muscles, only mild myogenic changes that could be explained by other causes such as age-related sarcopenia, radiculopathy, and disuse atrophy were observed in the non-irradiated muscles. The number of biopsy sites in live patients is limited due to the invasive nature of the procedure, but we were privileged to systemically evaluate the extent of myopathy through multiple muscle sampling including muscles both inside and outside of the irradiation field because this was an autopsy case. Through the presented case, we conclude that RIM is a phenomenon most probably limited to the muscles within the irradiated field, and myopathy outside the irradiation is due to other causes.

Abstract
PURPOSE Lymphoma is a common hematologic malignancy of adolescents and young adults. Cancer survivorship and quality of life are two outcomes studied to measure the types and scope of problems cancer patients experience leading to diagnosis, treatment, and long-term survivorship. This integrative literature review aims to review published literature in the adolescent and young adult lymphoma population, emphasizing cancer survivorship and quality of life outcomes. METHODS The integrative review framework by Whittemore and Knafl was used as the guideline for this study. A literature search of three relevant health science databases, including PubMed, the Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, and Ovid Emcare, was completed. RESULTS Twelve publications were included in the review, including ten quantitative and two qualitative studies. The studies consisted of sample populations from the United States, England, Germany, and the Netherlands; one study was an international, Children's Oncology Group study. The included studies detailed the cancer survivorship and quality of life outcomes of young adults with lymphoma by quantitative retrospective and longitudinal analysis; two studies used descriptive qualitative and grounded theory methods. The limited qualitative and longitudinal research in adolescents and young adults with lymphoma demonstrates a gap in the lived experience of this cancer population and the adherence to long-term survivorship recommendations. CONCLUSION Future research in adolescents and young adults with lymphoma should employ longitudinal and qualitative designs to examine the quality of life from diagnosis through extended survivorship, and the experiences at diagnosis, treatment, post-treatment, and long-term follow up.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Lymphoma is the one of the most common cancer diagnoses among adolescents and young adults (AYAs) aged 15-39. Despite significant advances in outcomes observed in older adults and younger children, improvements in AYAs have lagged behind. The reasons for this are likely multifactorial including disparities in access to health insurance, low rates of enrollment to clinical trials, potential differences in disease biology, and unique psychosocial challenges. Here we will review Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) and primary mediastinal B cell lymphoma (PMBCL), two of the most common aggressive lymphomas that occur in AYAs. We will discuss the current knowledge about disease biology in AYAs, adult and pediatric treatment strategies, novel targeted therapies, and ongoing AYA clinical trials in these lymphoma subtypes. We also will review unique considerations for treatment-related toxicities in AYAs and psychosocial issues relevant to this population. RECENT FINDINGS Pediatric and adult trials in HL and PMBCL have demonstrated that treatment with dose-intense chemotherapeutic regimens with or without radiation results in high cure rates but can also be associated with long-term toxicity which must be considered in this young population. Novel targeted agents such as the antibody-drug conjugate brentuximab vedotin and/or antibodies targeted against PD-1/PD-L1 have demonstrated activity in the relapsed setting and are currently being evaluated in the upfront setting, which may reduce our reliance on therapies associated with long-term toxicity. AYA-focused clinical trials are currently underway to better elucidate the optimal therapy for lymphomas in this age group. There is an urgent need for clinical trials including AYAs in order to increase the knowledge of age-specific outcomes, toxicities, disease biology, and the need to develop comprehensive AYA care models that meet the unique and complex care needs of this patient population.

Abstract
PURPOSE Psychological distress is prevalent in Hodgkin lymphoma (HL). Many patients, regardless of prognosis, receive ABVD chemotherapy as first-line treatment, but few studies have specifically examined the nature of distress during this shared treatment experience. METHODS We conducted a retrospective study of patient-reported distress in HL patients receiving ABVD treatment at a single tertiary care facility. Distress was measured using the National Comprehensive Cancer Network Distress Thermometer and Problem List (PL). We used descriptive statistics and generalized estimating equations to assess the prevalence of distress and specific problem items during treatment and associations with patient- and disease-related factors. RESULTS We collected data from 50 patients comprising 467 unique encounters, with 369/467 (79.0%) reporting a distress thermometer score. Median distress score was 2 (IQR: 0-5), but actionable distress (distress thermometer ≥4) was noted for 118/369 (32.0%) encounters. Actionable distress was only related to having a prior cancer, which conferred lower odds of actionable distress (OR 0.23, 95% CI 0.07-0.74, p=0.01) Physical and emotional problems were reported for 287/369 (77.8%) and 125/369 (33.9%) visits, respectively. Female patients had greater odds of both physical (OR 3.17, 95% CI 1.32-7.66, p=0.01) and emotional (OR 3.31, 95% CI 1.25-8.73, p=0.02) problems. CONCLUSION ABVD treatment is associated with a high frequency of actionable distress, with physical and emotional problems acting as primary drivers. Female patients may be particularly vulnerable, while cancer survivors may be uniquely resilient. These findings demonstrate the need to thoroughly screen for and appropriately tailor distress management strategies for HL patients during treatment with ABVD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL) constitutes 10%-20% of all malignant lymphomas and has a high cure rate (5-year survival, around 90%). Recently, interest has increased concerning preventing secondary complications (secondary cancer, endocrine disorders) in long-term survivors. We aimed to study the epidemiologic features and therapeutic outcomes of HL in children, adolescents, and young adults in Korea. METHODS We performed a multicenter, retrospective study of 224 patients aged < 25 years diagnosed with HL at 22 participating institutes in Korea from January 2007 to August 2016. RESULTS A higher percentage of males was diagnosed at a younger age. Nodular sclerosis histopathological HL subtype was most common, followed by mixed cellularity subtype. Eighty-one (36.2%), 101 (45.1%), and 42 (18.8%) patients were classified into low, intermediate, and high-risk groups, respectively. Doxorubicin, bleomycin, vinblastine, dacarbazine was the most common protocol (n = 102, 45.5%). Event-free survival rate was 86.0% ± 2.4%, while five-year overall survival (OS) rate was 96.1% ± 1.4%: 98.7% ± 1.3%, 97.7% ± 1.6%, and 86.5% ± 5.6% in the low, intermediate, and high-risk groups, respectively (P = 0.021). Five-year OS was worse in patients with B-symptoms, stage IV disease, high-risk, splenic involvement, extra-nodal lymphoma, and elevated lactate dehydrogenase level. In multivariate analysis, B-symptoms and extra-nodal involvement were prognostic factors for poor OS. Late complications of endocrine disorders and secondary malignancy were observed in 17 and 6 patients, respectively. CONCLUSION This is the first study on the epidemiology and treatment outcomes of HL in children, adolescents, and young adults in Korea. Future prospective studies are indicated to develop therapies that minimize treatment toxicity while maximizing cure rates in children, adolescents, and young adults with HL.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Informational and supportive care resources are needed for Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) survivors. OBJECTIVES The aim of this article is to adapt and evaluate a previously developed survivorship care website for HL survivors. METHODS A mixed-methods, user-centered design, including one-time focus groups, was followed by iterative web design and user testing. Transcripts were content analyzed, and survey responses were summarized. FINDINGS HL survivors need survivorship care education and support. Tailored web-based resources may be an effective adjunct to clinical care. The Survivor Wellness website is a usable web-based resource for HL survivors that may facilitate survivorship care.

Abstract
PURPOSE Compliance with US Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) age-appropriate cancer screening and immunization guidelines in lymphoma survivors is not known. We sought to measure compliance in non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) survivors and identify any differences based on patient, disease, and treatment characteristics. METHODS Eligible NHL survivors were identified from the Molecular Epidemiology Resource (MER) prospective cohort study. Survivors self-reported colorectal, breast, and prostate cancer screening and influenza immunization in a questionnaire 3 years post-diagnosis (FU3). The USPSTF guidelines were used to define compliance. Chi-square tests were used to compare characteristics of compliant versus non-compliant survivors. RESULTS A total of 1833 MER participants from 2005 to 2012 completed a FU3. Rates of breast and prostate cancer screening were 96% and 72%, respectively. No differences in compliance based on patient or disease characteristics or treatment were observed. Ninety-two percent of survivors were compliant with colorectal cancer screening. Older age, indolent lymphoma histology, and 2008-2012 year of diagnosis were associated with higher compliance. Eighty-two percent of survivors were compliant with influenza vaccination and older age was associated with higher compliance. CONCLUSION NHL survivors have high compliance with USPSTF recommendations for cancer screening and immunization. Survivors who are younger or have aggressive lymphomas are less likely to meet the colorectal cancer screening guidelines. Older survivors are more likely to receive influenza vaccination. IMPLICATIONS FOR CANCER SURVIVORS Measures to further improve preventive care for NHL survivors, especially those younger in age, are necessary.

Abstract
Our study aims to quantitate neuromuscular morbidity from radiotherapy in Hodgkin lymphoma including: (i) frequency and (ii) time of onsets for neurological localizations; (iii) degree of disabilities and (iv) number of clinical visits compared to cardiopulmonary Hodgkin lymphoma-radiation complications. Medical records from Mayo Health systems were retrieved; identifying neuromuscular radiation treated Hodgkin lymphoma-complications from 1 January 1994 to 31 December 2016. Of an estimated 4100 post-radiotherapy Hodgkin lymphoma patients, 4.6% (189) were identified with complications. Mean latency to physician visit for symptoms was 23.7 years (range: 1-50). Most commonly identified complications included: head drop 10% (19) with or without myopathy, myopathy 39% (73), plexopathy 29% (54), myelopathy 27% (51) and polyradiculopathy 13% (24). Other findings included benign and malignant nerve sheath tumours 5% (9), phrenic and long thoracic mononeuropathies 7% (14) and compressive spinal meningioma 2% (4). Patients frequently had multiple coexisting complications (single = 76% [144], double = 17% [33], triple = 4% [8], quadruple = 2% [4]). Cardiac 28% (53) and pulmonary 15% (29) complications were also seen in these patients. History of Hodgkin lymphoma was initially overlooked by neurologists (14.3%, 48/336 clinical notes). Hospital and outpatient visits for complications were frequent: neuromuscular 19% (77/411) versus cardiopulmonary 30% (125/411). Testing was largely exclusionary, except when imaging identified secondary malignancy. Modified Rankin score at diagnosis varied: 0-1 (55.8%), 2-3 (5.8%) and 4-5 (38.3%). Neuromuscular complications among post-radiation Hodgkin lymphoma are diverse, occurring in ∼1 of 20 having markedly delayed onsets often eluding diagnosis. Frequent care visits and major morbidity are common. Survivorship recommendations should recognize the diverse neurological complications.

Abstract
Advanced classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL) is a rare lymphoid disease characterized by the presence of Hodgkin and Reed-Sternberg (HRS) cells. Each year, cHL accounts for 0.5% of all new cancer diagnoses and about 80% are diagnosed with advanced stage disease. Given the significant improvement in cure rates, the focus of treatment has shifted towards minimization of acute and long-term toxicities. PET-adapted strategies have largely been adopted as standard of care in the United States in an attempt to balance toxicities with adequate lymphoma control. However, the appropriate upfront chemotherapy regimen (ABVD versus eBEACOPP) remains controversial.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The increased risk for second malignancies after Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) diagnosis is well known. However, to our knowledge, no study has investigated the outcomes of patients diagnosed with HL after an antecedent malignancy (HL-2). We aimed to investigate overall survival (OS), disease-specific survival (DSS), and correlates of survival in HL-2 using the Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) database. PATIENTS AND METHODS HL-2 patients (n = 821) identified from the 2000-2014 SEER-18 registries were compared to first primary HL patients (HL-1, n = 31,355) from the same registries. Multivariable, propensity score-matched (PSM), and competing risks regression analyses were conducted to assess the effect of antecedent malignancy on survival. RESULTS Hematologic (n = 309, 37.6%), prostate (n = 169, 20.6%), and breast (n = 76, 9.3%) malignancies were common antecedent malignancies in HL-2. Median latency between antecedent malignancy and HL diagnosis was 39 months. Median ages at HL diagnosis for HL-1 and HL-2 were 36 and 66 years, respectively (P < .001). The 5-year OS and HL-DSS rates for HL-2 versus HL-1 were 53.2% versus 82.7% and 79.1% versus 90.9%, respectively (P < .001). On multivariable analysis, antecedent malignancy was associated with decreased OS (hazard ratio [HR] = 1.27; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.13-1.42; P < .001). With PSM balancing across covariables, antecedent malignancy was associated with decrements in HL-DSS (HR = 1.46; 95% CI, 1.12-1.92; P = .006) and OS (HR = 2.09; 95% CI, 1.74-2.51; P < .001). CONCLUSION The decrement in DSS in HL-2 relative to HL-1 may be related to biological differences in HL, age, and/or other unanalyzed factors. Further study of HL-2 patients is warranted.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Prior studies in oncology have shown that a higher annual facility patient volume is associated with reduced mortality. Because classic Hodgkin lymphoma is uncommon but highly curable, this study used the National Cancer Database (2003-2014) to analyze whether such a relationship exists for this disease. METHODS The facilities were classified by quartiles, and random intercepts were used to account for clustering of patients within facilities. A Cox regression model was used to determine the volume-outcome relationship. RESULTS There were 47,633 patients with classic Hodgkin lymphoma treated at 1310 facilities. The first quartile (Q1), which included 58.4% of the facilities, treated 3 or fewer patients per year, whereas the fourth quartile (Q4), which included 5.9% of the facilities, treated more than 9 patients per year. Compared with the patients treated at Q4 facilities, those treated at lower quartile facilities had a higher risk of death (hazard ratio for the third quartile [HR], 1.19; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.1-1.29; HR for the second quartile, 1.28; 95% CI, 1.19-1.38; HR for Q1, 1.29; 95% CI, 1.2-1.39) after adjustments for all other factors (P < .0001). Compared with facilities treating 10 patients per year, facilities treating 40 patients per year had approximately 27% lower overall mortality rates. CONCLUSIONS Patients with classic Hodgkin lymphoma treated at high-volume centers had lower overall mortality than those treated at lower volume centers. Because this is a highly curable malignancy, such differences may suggest a benefit from referral to higher volume facilities or the emulation of their care models.

Abstract
PURPOSE Multimodal treatment of Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) and non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) yields excellent outcomes; however, survivors are at risk of developing myriad late and long-term effects. METHODS From a convenience sample of 964 survivors of HL (37%) and NHL (63%) using a publicly available Internet-based survivorship care plan (SCP) tool between 2011 and 2016, we examined patient-reported cancer care, toxicities, and survivorship care data. RESULTS Of all survivors, 67% were female and 84% were white and 88% were free of cancer. Median age of diagnosis was 28 years for survivors of HL and 49 years for NHL. Many survivors reported treatment with chemotherapy (92%), surgery (52%), and/or radiation (41%), with most radiation delivered to chest/mantle fields (81%). Survivors reported a diversity of radiation- and chemotherapy-related sequelae, including thyroid dysfunction, speaking and/or swallowing changes, pulmonary fibrosis/pneumonitis, heart disease, chronic fatigue, neurocognitive decline, neuropathy, sexual changes, and secondary breast cancers. Few reported receipt of previous survivorship information. Most reported management/comanagement by an oncology specialist after active treatment; however, a shift to management by primary care provider alone was observed as a trend over time in follow-up. Sixty-six percent of users who responded to a follow-up survey reported that they intend to share the SCP with their health care team. CONCLUSION Survivors of lymphoma, many of whom are free of disease, report a substantial burden of late and long-term adverse effects, suboptimal delivery of survivorship information, and transitions of care in follow-up in which fragmented systems and/or poor communication may contribute to unmet survivor needs. Multiple opportunities thus exist for which SCPs may be used to improve awareness regarding survivorship and associated adverse effects in addition to communicating follow-up care plans between survivors and treatment teams.

Abstract
Ixazomib activity and transcriptomic analyses previously established in T cell (TCL) and Hodgkin (HL) lymphoma models predicted synergistic activity for histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitory combination. In this present study, we determined the mechanistic basis for ixazomib combination with the HDAC inhibitor, belinostat, in HL and TCL cells lines (ixazomib-sensitive/resistant clones) and primary tumour cells. In ixazomib-treated TCL and HL cells, transient inhibition followed by full recovery of proteasomal activity observed was accompanied by induction of proteasomal gene expression with NFE2L2 (also termed NRF2) as a prominent upstream regulator. Downregulation of both NFE2L2 and proteasomal gene expression (validated by quantitative real time polymerase chain reaction) occurred with belinostat treatment in Jurkat and L428 cells. In addition, CRISPR/Cas9 mediated knockdown of NFE2L2 in Jurkat cells resulted in a significant decrease in cell viability with ixazomib compared with untreated control cells. Using transcriptomic and proteasomal activity evaluation of ixazomib, belinostat, or ixazomib + belinostat treated cells, we observed that NFE2L2, proteasome gene expression and functional recovery were abrogated by ixazomib + belinostat combination, resulting in synergistic drug activity in ixazomib-sensitive and -resistant cell lines and primary cells. Altogether, these results suggest that the synergistic activity of ixazomib + belinostat is mediated via inhibition NFE2L2-dependent proteasomal recovery and extended proteasomal inhibition culminating in increased cell death.

Abstract
The burden of late effects among Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) survivors treated according to contemporary protocols remains poorly characterized. We used nation‐wide registers to assess number of inpatient bed‐days and specialist outpatient visits among 1048 HL‐patients (<25 years, diagnosed 1990‐2010) and 5175 country‐, sex‐, and age‐matched comparators. We followed them for up to 24 years, with time‐dependent assessment of relapse status. International Classification of Diseases (ICD‐10) chapter‐specific hazard ratios (HRs) were assessed in Cox regression analyses, and nonparametric statistics described patterns of health‐care‐use. Relative to comparators, relapse‐free survivors were at increased risk of infections, diseases of the blood, endocrine, circulatory and respiratory systems, and unspecific symptoms, HRs ranging from 1.86 to 3.05. Relative to comparators, relapsed survivors had at statistically significantly increased risk of diseases reflecting practically all investigated disease‐chapters, HRs ranging from 1.60 to 18.7. Among relapse‐free survivors, 10% of the patients accounted for 80% of all hospital bed days, and 55% were never hospitalized during follow‐up. Among relapsed‐survivors, 10% of the patients accounted for 50% of the bed days, and only 24% were never hospitalized during follow‐up. In contrast, 10% of the comparators accounted for 90% of hospital bed days and 75% were never hospitalized. These findings challenge the impression of a uniformly distributed long‐term morbidity among all HL survivors and emphasize the need for early identification and attention to patients particularly susceptible to late effects, such as relapsed survivors.

Abstract
The number of patients surviving ≥5 years after initial cancer diagnosis has significantly increased during the last decades due to considerable improvements in the treatment of many cancer entities. A negative consequence of this is that the emergence of long-term sequelae and endocrine disorders account for a high proportion of these. These late effects can occur decades after cancer treatment and affect up to 50% of childhood cancer survivors. Multiple predisposing factors for endocrine late effects have been identified, including radiation, sex, and age at the time of diagnosis. A systematic literature search has been conducted using the PubMed database to offer a detailed overview of the spectrum of late endocrine disorders following oncological treatment. Most data are based on late effects of treatment in former childhood cancer patients for whom specific guidelines and recommendations already exist, whereas current knowledge concerning late effects in adult-onset cancer survivors is much less clear. Endocrine sequelae of cancer therapy include functional alterations in hypothalamic-pituitary, thyroid, parathyroid, adrenal, and gonadal regulation as well as bone and metabolic complications. Surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and immunotherapy all contribute to these sequelae. Following irradiation, endocrine organs such as the thyroid are also at risk for subsequent malignancies. Although diagnosis and management of functional and neoplastic long-term consequences of cancer therapy are comparable to other causes of endocrine disorders, cancer survivors need individually structured follow-up care in specialized surveillance centers to improve care for this rapidly growing group of patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Dropped head syndrome is a potential late neurologic complication of radiation therapy in survivors of Hodgkin lymphoma. There is limited evidence for conservative management of this condition. OBJECTIVE To discover patient utilization patterns of the commonly prescribed Headmaster Collar (cervical) in Hodgkin lymphoma survivors with radiation-induced dropped head syndrome. DESIGN Questionnaire-based retrospective observational study. SETTING Single-site academic cancer center. PATIENTS Twenty-six Hodgkin lymphoma survivors treated with radiation therapy involving the mantle who were prescribed a Headmaster Collar for dropped head syndrome. METHODS OR INTERVENTIONS Patients were interviewed by phone with a structured set of questions. MAIN OUTCOME MEASUREMENTS Compliance, patterns of use, individual modifications, and side effects of collar use. RESULTS Although 58% of patients who were prescribed a Headmaster Collar eventually discontinued its use, 62% of all patients used the collar for more than 6 months. The majority of users wore the collar for up to 3 hours per day, usually for static seated activities. Thirty-eight percent of patients made personal modifications to their collar, most commonly the addition of extra padding. All but one patient had complaints about the collar, most commonly discomfort, rigidity, and confinement. CONCLUSIONS The Headmaster Collar (cervical) is often utilized for a few hours a day, for longer than 6 months, to help with static seated activities. Insights from this study might help to improve future orthotic designs with better long-term compliance rates for the treatment of radiation-induced dropped head syndrome. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE IV.

Abstract
: Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) is a highly curable cancer. Advances in diagnosis and treatment have resulted in excellent cure rates, producing an ever-increasing number of HL survivors who live decades beyond their initial cancer treatment. These survivors, however, are at risk for late effects secondary to the cancer treatments they received years earlier, most notably, subsequent primary cancers, cardiovascular disease, pulmonary toxicity, and endocrine dysfunction. Monitoring and managing such late treatment effects may significantly challenge survivors' long-term health care providers, who may need to take on increased survivorship care. For physicians and nurses working outside of oncology settings, who are increasingly called upon to collaborate with oncologists when caring for HL survivors, understanding the late treatment effects and potential risk factors facing this growing patient population is essential to the provision of comprehensive long-term care. The authors provide an overview of HL, review the most commonly encountered late adverse effects of treatment, and discuss current recommendations for survivor surveillance and screening.

Outcomes in intermediate-risk pediatric lymphocyte-predominant Hodgkin lymphoma: A report from the Children's Oncology Group. Pediatr Blood Cancer 2018; 65:e27375.

Abstract
PURPOSE Optimal management of patients with intermediate-risk lymphocyte-predominant Hodgkin lymphoma (LPHL) is unclear due to their small numbers in most clinical trials. Children's Oncology Group AHOD0031, a randomized phase III trial of pediatric patients with intermediate-risk Hodgkin lymphoma (HL), included patients with LPHL. We report the outcomes of these patients and present directions for future therapeutic strategies. PROCEDURE Patients received two cycles of doxorubicin, bleomycin, vincristine, etoposide, prednisone, and cyclophosphamide (ABVE-PC) followed by response evaluation. Slow early responders were randomized to two additional ABVE-PC cycles ± two dexamethasone, etoposide, cisplatin, and cytarabine cycles and all received involved field radiotherapy (IFRT). Rapid early responders (RERs) received two additional ABVE-PC cycles. RERs with complete response (CR) were randomized to IFRT or no further therapy. RERs without CR received IFRT. RESULTS Ninety-six (5.6%) of 1711 patients on AHOD0031 had LPHL. Patients with LPHL were more likely to achieve RER (93.6% vs. 81.0%; P = 0.002) and CR (74.2% vs. 49.3%; P = 0.000005) following chemotherapy compared with patients with classical HL. Five-year event-free survival (EFS) was superior in patients with LPHL (92.2%) versus classical HL (83.5%) (P = 0.04), without difference in overall survival (OS). Among RERs with CR following chemotherapy (n = 33), there was no difference in EFS or OS between those randomized to receive or not receive IFRT. CONCLUSION Children and adolescents with intermediate-risk LPHL represent ideal candidates for response-adapted therapy based on their favorable outcomes. The majority of patients treated with the ABVE-PC backbone achieve RER with CR status and can be treated successfully without IFRT.

Abstract
Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) commonly occurs in adolescents and young adults (AYA), defined by the National Cancer Institute as people diagnosed with cancer between the ages of 15 and 39 years. Despite therapeutic advances, the AYA population has derived less incremental benefit compared to both paediatric and adult counterparts. Although the exact aetiology is unclear, contributing factors probably include differences in disease biology, delayed diagnosis, decreased participation in clinical trials and treatment adherence secondary to complex social factors. As such, while HL remains highly curable, there is not a clear consensus regarding the management of patients within this age range, specifically whether paediatric or adult regimens are preferred or how best to incorporate emerging therapeutic advancements. Ongoing clinical trials, as well as continued collaborative efforts are required to address the needs of this population, investigate the potential for unique biological factors and allow for optimization of treatment. Here we review current prognostic and treatment strategies for paediatric and adult patients with HL and highlight complexities around the management of this patient population.

Abstract
Arising from the immune system and located primarily in lymphoid organs, Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) is one of the most common cancers in young adults. Risk-adapted first-line treatment usually consisting of multi-agent chemotherapy and often incorporating consolidative radiation therapy aims at long-term cure. Although this is achieved in the vast majority of patients, therapy-related side effects such as organ damage, second cancers, and fatigue constitute considerable sequelae and outweigh HL as the cause of mortality after successful first-line treatment. In addition, intensive conventional therapy is seldom feasible in elderly or frail patients, diminishing chances of cure in this growing population of patients. The rapidly growing understanding of HL biology, innovative clinical trials, and the incorporation of novel drugs might help to overcome these obstacles in the management of HL. In this review, recent advances in the understanding and care of HL will be summarized with a focus on ongoing and future strategies which might help move things forward.

Abstract
Tremendous progress in treatment and outcomes has been achieved across the whole range of haematological malignancies in the past two decades. Although cure rates for aggressive malignancies have increased, nowhere has progress been more impactful than in the management of typically incurable forms of haematological cancer. Population-based data have shown that 5-year survival for patients with chronic myelogenous and chronic lymphocytic leukaemia, indolent B-cell lymphomas, and multiple myeloma has improved markedly. This improvement is a result of substantial changes in disease management strategies in these malignancies. Several haematological malignancies are now chronic diseases that are treated with continuously administered therapies that have unique side-effects over time. In this Commission, an international panel of clinicians, clinical investigators, methodologists, regulators, and patient advocates representing a broad range of academic and clinical cancer expertise examine adverse events in haematological malignancies. The issues pertaining to assessment of adverse events examined here are relevant to a range of malignancies and have been, to date, underexplored in the context of haematology. The aim of this Commission is to improve toxicity assessment in clinical trials in haematological malignancies by critically examining the current process of adverse event assessment, highlighting the need to incorporate patient-reported outcomes, addressing issues unique to stem-cell transplantation and survivorship, appraising challenges in regulatory approval, and evaluating toxicity in real-world patients. We have identified a range of priority issues in these areas and defined potential solutions to challenges associated with adverse event assessment in the current treatment landscape of haematological malignancies.

Patient-reported distress in Hodgkin lymphoma across the survivorship continuum. Support Care Cancer 2018; 27:2453-2462.

Abstract
Purpose Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) survivors face long-term, elevated risk of treatment-related sequelae, including psychosocial distress associated with poor health outcomes. The magnitude and sources of distress are not well described in the routine care of HL outside of clinical trials. Methods We conducted a retrospective cohort study of patients visiting a tertiary-care center for treatment or long-term follow-up of HL. Patient-reported distress was documented using the National Comprehensive Cancer Network Distress Thermometer (DT) and Problem List. Three survivor groups were compared using descriptive methods: on treatment, surviving < 5 years, and surviving ≥ 5 years since diagnosis. Results A total of 1524 DT were abstracted for 304 patients (106 on treatment, 77 surviving < 5 years, and 121 surviving ≥ 5 years). Distress was low overall (median DT = 1, inter-quartile range 0–4) and was similar across survivor groups. However, actionable distress (score ≥ 4) was reported at 29.5% of clinical encounters. Patients on treatment more frequently reported actionable distress (32.5% of visits) compared with patients surviving < 5 years (20.4%) and ≥ 5 years (28.7%) (P = 0.065). Distress was associated primarily with physical and emotional problems, especially fatigue, worry, and sleep. We did not observe any associations between distress and clinical prognostic factors. Conclusions Distress burden is low in HL, but survivorship is marked by periods of actionable distress, largely related to physical symptoms and emotional issues. This burden may be higher when on treatment and is unrelated to disease-related prognostic factors. Survivorship research typically focuses on the post-therapy period, but our results support testing the efficacy of interventions to address distress in HL during active treatment as well.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Survivors of cancer often describe a sense of abandonment after treatment along with heightened uncertainty and limited knowledge of what lies ahead. This study examined the efficacy of a survivorship care plan (SCP) intervention to help physicians to address survivorship issues through communication skills training plus a new consultation focused on the use of an SCP for patients with Hodgkin lymphoma and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. METHODS This 4-site cluster randomized trial examined the efficacy of a survivorship planning consultation (SPC) in patients who achieved complete remission after the completion of first-line therapy (for the SPC, physicians received communication skills training and, using an SCP, applied those skills in a survivorship-focused office visit) versus a control arm in which physicians were trained in and subsequently provided a time-controlled, manualized wellness rehabilitation consultation (WRC) focused only on discussion of healthy nutrition and exercise as rehabilitation after chemotherapy. The primary outcomes for patients were changes in knowledge about lymphoma and adherence to physicians' recommendations for vaccinations and cancer screenings. RESULTS Forty-two physicians and 198 patients participated across the 4 sites. Patients whose physicians were in the SPC arm had greater knowledge about their lymphoma (P = .01) and showed greater adherence to physician recommendations for influenza vaccinations (P = .02) and colonoscopy (P = .02) than patients whose physicians were in the WRC arm. CONCLUSIONS A dedicated consultation using an SCP and supported by communication skills training may enhance patients' knowledge and adherence to some health promotion recommendations.

Abstract
PURPOSE Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) survivors experience high risks of second cancers and cardiovascular disease, but no studies have considered whether the occurrence of these and other medical conditions differ by sociodemographic factors in adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors. METHODS Data for 5,085 patients aged 15-39 when diagnosed with HL during 1996-2012 and surviving ≥ 2 years were obtained from the California Cancer Registry and linked to hospitalization data. We examined the impact of race/ethnicity, neighborhood socioeconomic status (SES), and health insurance on the occurrence of medical conditions (≥ 2 years after diagnosis) and the impact of medical conditions on survival using multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression. RESULTS Twenty-six percent of AYAs experienced at least one medical condition and 15% had ≥ 2 medical conditions after treatment for HL. In multivariable analyses, Black HL survivors had a higher likelihood (vs. non-Hispanic Whites) of endocrine [hazard ratio (HR) = 1.37, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.05-1.78] and circulatory system diseases (HR = 1.58, CI 1.17-2.14); Hispanics had a higher likelihood of endocrine diseases [HR = 1.24 (1.04-1.48)]. AYAs with public or no insurance (vs. private/military) had higher likelihood of circulatory system diseases, respiratory system diseases, chronic kidney disease/renal failure, liver disease, and endocrine diseases. AYAs residing in low SES neighborhoods (vs. high) had higher likelihood of respiratory system and endocrine diseases. AYAs with these medical conditions or second cancers had an over twofold increased risk of death. CONCLUSION Strategies to improve health care utilization for surveillance and secondary prevention among AYA HL survivors at increased risk of medical conditions may improve outcomes.

Abstract
Background The high incidence of cardiovascular events in cancer survivors has long been noted, but the mechanistic insights of cardiovascular toxicity of cancer treatments, especially for vessel diseases, remain unclear. It is well known that atherosclerotic plaque formation begins in the area exposed to disturbed blood flow, but the relationship between cancer therapy and disturbed flow in regulating plaque formation has not been well studied. Therefore, we had two goals for this study; (1) Generate an affordable, reliable, and reproducible mouse model to recapitulate the cancer therapy-induced cardiovascular events in cancer survivors, and (2) Establish a mouse model to investigate the interplay between disturbed flow and various cancer therapies in the process of atherosclerotic plaque formation. Methods and Results We examined the effects of two cancer drugs and ionizing radiation (IR) on disturbed blood flow-induced plaque formation using a mouse carotid artery partial ligation (PCL) model of atherosclerosis. We found that doxorubicin and cisplatin, which are commonly used anti-cancer drugs, had no effect on plaque formation in partially ligated carotid arteries. Similarly, PCL-induced plaque formation was not affected in mice that received IR (2 Gy) and PCL surgery performed one week later. In contrast, when PCL surgery was performed 26 days after IR treatment, not only the atherosclerotic plaque formation but also the necrotic core formation was significantly enhanced. Lastly, we found a significant increase in p90RSK phosphorylation in the plaques from the IR-treated group compared to those from the non-IR treated group. Conclusions Our results demonstrate that IR not only increases atherosclerotic events but also vulnerable plaque formation. These increases were a somewhat delayed effect of IR as they were observed in mice with PCL surgery performed 26 days, but not 10 days, after IR exposure. A proper animal model must be developed to study how to minimize the cardiovascular toxicity due to cancer treatment.

Abstract
Adverse cardiovascular events are a leading nonmalignant cause of morbidity and mortality among cancer survivors who have been exposed to ionizing radiation (IR), but the exact mechanism of the cardiovascular complications induced by IR remains unclear. In this study we investigated the potential role of the p90RSK-ERK5 module in regulating IR-induced endothelial cell inflammation and apoptosis. Whole body radiation of mice with 2 Gy γ-ray significantly increased endothelial VCAM-1 expression; especially in the disturbed flow area in vivo. In vitro studies showed that IR increased p90RSK activation as well as subsequent ERK5 S496 phosphorylation in cultured human endothelial cells (ECs). A specific p90RSK inhibitor, FMK-MEA, significantly inhibited both p90RSK activation and ERK5 S496 phosphorylation, but it had no effect on IR-induced ERK5 TEY motif phosphorylation, suggesting that p90RSK regulates ERK5 transcriptional activity, but not its kinase activity. In fact, we found that IR-induced NF-kB activation and VCAM-1 expression in ECs were significantly inhibited by the over-expression of S496 phosphorylation site mutant of ERK5 (ERK5 S496A) compared to overexpression of wild type ERK5. Furthermore, when ECs were exposed to IR, the number of annexin V positive cells increased, and overexpression of ERK5 S496A, but not wild type ERK5, significantly inhibited this increase. Our results demonstrate that IR augmented disturbed flow-induced VCAM-1 expression in vivo. Endothelial p90RSK was robustly activated by IR and subsequently up-regulated ERK5 S496 phosphorylation, inflammation, and apoptosis in ECs. The EC p90RSK-ERK5 signaling axis can be a good target to prevent cardiovascular events after radiation therapy in cancer patients.

Abstract
Physically precise external-beam radiotherapy (EBRT) technologies may not translate to the best outcome in individual patients. On the other hand, clinical considerations alone are often insufficient to guide the selection of a specific EBRT approach in patients. We examine the ways in which to compare different EBRT approaches based on physical, biological and clinical considerations, and how they can be enhanced with the addition of biophysical models and machine-learning strategies. The process of selecting an EBRT modality is expected to improve in tandem with knowledge-based treatment planning.

Abstract
PURPOSE Few population-based studies have focused on cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk in adolescent and young adult (AYA; 15-39 years) cancer survivors and none have considered whether CVD risk differs by sociodemographic factors. METHODS Analyses focused on 79,176 AYA patients diagnosed with 14 first primary cancers in 1996-2012 and surviving > 2 years after diagnosis with follow-up through 2014. Data were obtained from the California Cancer Registry and State hospital discharge data. CVD included coronary artery disease, heart failure, and stroke. The cumulative incidence of developing CVD accounted for the competing risk of death. Multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression evaluated factors associated with CVD and the impact of CVD on mortality. RESULTS Overall, 2249 (2.8%) patients developed CVD. Survivors of central nervous system cancer (7.3%), acute lymphoid leukemia (6.9%), acute myeloid leukemia (6.8%), and non-Hodgkin lymphoma (4.1%) had the highest 10-year CVD incidence. In multivariable models, African-Americans (hazard ratio (HR) = 1.55, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.33-1.81; versus non-Hispanic Whites), those with public/no health insurance (HR = 1.78, 95% CI = 1.61-1.96; versus private) and those who resided in lower socioeconomic status neighborhoods had a higher CVD risk. These sociodemographic differences in CVD incidence were apparent across most cancer sites. The risk of death was increased by eightfold or higher among AYAs who developed CVD. CONCLUSION While cancer therapies are known to increase the risk of CVD, this study additionally shows that CVD risk varies by sociodemographic factors. IMPLICATIONS FOR CANCER SURVIVORS The identification and mitigation of CVD risk factors in these subgroups may improve long-term patient outcomes.

Abstract
Adolescents and young adults (AYA) surviving classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL) risk long term fatal treatment-related toxicities. We utilized the Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) program to compare excess mortality rate (EMR-observed minus expected mortality) for 10-year survivors of AYA cHL diagnosed in 1973-1992 and 1993-2003 eras. The 15-year EMR reduced from 4.88% to 2.19% while the 20-year EMR reduced from 9.46% to 4.07% between eras. Survivors of stages 1-2 had lower EMR than survivors of stages 3-4 cHL in the 1993-2003 but not in the 1973-1992 era. There was an overall decline in risk of death between 10 and 15 years from diagnosis, driven mostly by second neoplasms and cardiovascular mortality. Despite reduction in fatal second neoplasms and cardiovascular disease with more current therapy, long term survivors of AYA cHL still have a higher risk of death than the general population highlighting the need for safer therapies.
