Pref ace
H odgkin lymphoma has become one of the most curable malignancies, both
in adult and pediatric patients. More than 80 % of all patients can be cured
with risk-adapted treatment including chemo- and radiotherapy. This prog-
ress is largely due to the development of multi-agent chemotherapy more
than 40 years ago and the improvements in radiotherapy. Since then, this
fascinating disease has been in the focus of scientifi c and clinical research.
Major recent achievements were the defi nite proof that Hodgkin lymphoma is
a true malignancy derived from “crippled” B-lymphocytes. Establishing
immortal cell lines from patients with end-stage disease initiated a variety of
different research activities that advanced our understanding of Hodgkin lym-
phoma pathophysiology, biology, and immunology, in addition to providing
an in vitro model for testing new therapies. The discovery of the CD30 anti-
gen that is expressed in high density on H-RS cells substantially improved the
prognostic precision. Monoclonal antibodies against this antigen were suc-
cessfully used for diagnostic immunophenotyping and were exploited thera-
peutically. After a number of unsuccessful clinical trials with unconjugated
antibody constructs or fully human monoclonal antibodies targeting CD30,
this strategy has come full circle with the advent of an anti-CD30 antibody
drug conjugate that has given remarkable responses in relapsed and refractory
Hodgkin lymphoma.
D ue to the very good prognosis and the young age of most patients
affected, Hodgkin lymphoma has also become a model to study long-term
effects of radio- and chemotherapy. Unfortunately, a substantial number of
patients die from treatment-related long-term toxicity. We must thus very
carefully balance our attempts to further improve disease control with the
need to keep the risk of long-term consequences as low as possible. In addi-
tion, there are a number of relevant physical and psychosocial issues that
need to be further exploited including the risk of infertility and fatigue.
Fortunately, after more than 20 years of standstill, we now experience the
development of new targeted treatment also for patients with Hodgkin lym-
phoma. This hopefully might result in more individualized and less toxic
treatments for our patients. The next decade will witness additional progress
relevant to exploiting the interaction between the malignant H-RS cells and
the immune cells in the microenvironment, which will likely result in further
refi nement of our treatment strategies.

vi Preface
This book should give you a comprehensive overview on the most relevant
biology, diagnostic and clinical aspects of Hodgkin lymphoma. We would
like to express our sincere gratitude to all those who have contributed to this
project.
