20
Q

EBV prognosis

A

Inferior

21
Q

Cemo+RT vs. Chemo alone for early favorable HL

A

better PFS with combined, but more toxicity

22
Q

Alternative for ABVD in early HL

A

Stanford V
(Mechlorethamine, doxorubicin, vinblastine, prednisone, vincristine, bleomycin, and VP-16
with weekly variance in drugs)

23
Q

Timing of RT

A

usually 3-4 weeks after chemo ends

24
Q

Number of cycles of ABVD in favorable early HL treated with combined Tx

A

2-4
PFS and OS are similar with more toxicity with four

25
Q

Amount of RT for favorable early

A

20 Gy - 30 Gy
Usually 20 is enough

26
Q

When to omit bleomycin

A

Age > 80
Frailty
Low probability of cure
Comorbidities

27
Q

Timing of PET-CT after Tx

A

Six to eight weeks after completion of chemotherapy
and
Three months after the completion of RT

28
Q

BEACOPP

A

bleomycin, etoposide, doxorubicin, cyclophosphamide, vincristine, procarbazine, and prednisone

29
Q

BEACOPP vs ABVD for early unfavorable

A

longer PFS with BEACOPP
No OS advantage
More toxicity with BEACOPP

30
Q

Interim PET in early unfavorable

A

after 2 cycles (PET2)
and then after 2 more cycles if PET2 positive (PET4)

31
Q

CMT of early unfavorable

A

4-6 cycles of chemo (usually ABVD)- depending on PET2
+
RT of 30 Gy (20 Gy is inferior)

32
Q

CMT indication in early unfavorable

A

Bulky disease
PET2 positive- 6 ABVD + RT
PET- three weeks after Chemo shows PR

33
Q

Dose adjustments for Bleomycin

A

Pulmonary disease
Renal impairment
Elderly

34
Q

Tx alternatives for ABVD in advanced HL

A

BV+ AVD (Brentuximab vedotin instead od Bleomycin)
BEACOPP

35
Q

indiacation for BECOPP in advanced HL

A

Young pts < 60
with
High risk (IPS>= 4)
if PET2 after ABVD is positive

36
Q

Brentuximab vedotin mechanism

A

anti CD30 conjugated to monomethyl auristatin E

37
Q

De-escalation for advanced

A

AVD if PET2 negative after ABVD

38
Q

Acute toxicity of ABVD

A

Neutropenia 34% usually not severe- no need for GCSF
N/V 13%
Alopecia 31%

39
Q

Long-term complications of ABVD

A

Cardiomyopathy- rarely if doxorubicin total dose < 400 mg/m2
Pulmonary txicity- Bleomycin and RT

40
Q

BV+AVD vs ABVD toxicity

A

Less pulmonary but more neuropathy (67% vs 43%) usually reversible
and
Neutropenia (11% need GCSF) with BV+AVD

41
Q

Acute toxicity of BEACOPP

A

Cytopenias
Infection 20%
N/V 20%
ALopecia 79%
