Original Title:
Μακροχρόνιες επιπλοκές της θεραπείας σε ασθενείς με Λέμφωμα Hodgkin
Translated title:
Late effects following treatment of Hodgkin lymphoma
Summary:
Hodgkin's lymphoma is a malignant disease of the lymphatic tissue, potentially curable, with
distinct biological behaviour and clinical features. Long-term side effects associated with the
treatment of Hodgkin’s lymphoma (HL) have frequently been reported during the last
decades. Studies have shown increased mortality in HL survivors. Following Hodgkin’s
lymphoma, second malignancies and cardiovascular disease are the most common causes of
death in individuals treated for HL. Other late complications include (but are not limited to)
breast and lung cancers, gastrointestinal malignancies, thyroid disorders and infertility.
