ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the clinical characteristics, therapeutic effects, long-term survival and prognostic factors of the newly diagnosed patients with Hodgkin lymphoma (HL).</p><p><b>METHODS</b>One hundred and thirty five newly diagnosed HL patients in West China hospital from January 1, 2000 to December 31, 2010 were analyzed retrospectively. Software SPSS18.0 was applied to determine the risk factors for therapeutic results and long term survivals.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Of 135 patients, 78 cases were male and 57 female, the median age was 32(7-77) years old, and the median follow-up of 42(12-141) months. The peak age of HL was 20 to 30 years old and lymph node enlargement was the first presenting symptom in 69.63% of the patients. Among the all pathological types of HL, mixed-cellularity subtype (MC) and nodular sclerosing (NS) were the most common types, accounting for 59.7% and 34.0%, respectively. In MC subtypes, 66.2% of patients were male, while in NS subtypes, 61.4% were female. Among the 114 patients with complete follow-up data, 73 patients (64.0%) obtained complete remission and the total response rate was 77.2%. The 2-, 3- and 5-year overall survival (OS) rates were 91.2%, 88.0% and 80.9%, respectively. The progression free survival rates were 76%, 80.3% and 81.6%%, respectively. Among the patients with early unfavorable prognosis, 96.3% of them accepted full course chemotherapy and 13(48.1%) were combined with local radiotherapy. The 3- and 5- year survival rates of early unfavorable patients were higher than that of early favorable and advanced patients, but the difference was not statistically significant. Age≥45 years old and B symptom were adverse factors affecting curative effect for MC and NS subtypes, respectively. Furthermore, Age≥45 years, B symptoms and hepatomegaly were independent risk factors affecting the survival.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>HL is more common in young patients (age<45 years old) and usually diagnosed at the early stage, with predominance of MC subtypes. B symptoms were adverse prognostic factors of therapeutic effects. The standard- dose chemotherapy and suitable courses of treatment combined with radiotherapy may provide the best benefits for the HL patients.</p>
