Context: Treatment of Newly Diagnosed Children and Adolescents With Hodgkin Lymphoma / Accepted Risk-Adapted Treatment Strategies

Table 10 summarizes the results of treatment approaches used for pediatric patients with NLPHL, some of which feature surgery alone for completely resected disease and limited cycles of chemotherapy with or without LD-IFRT. Because of the relative rarity of this subtype, most trials are limited by small cohort numbers and nonrandom allocation of treatment.
