Q

Regimen contraindicated in those with neuropathy

A

17
Q

Clinical Trial for BV + AVD

18
Q

Clinical Trial for Nivolumab

A

SWOG S1826

19
Q

Characteristics of CHL in older patients

A
  • B symptoms
  • Poor performance status
  • Mixed cellularity histologic subtype
  • EBV+ disease
  • Medical comorbidities are more frequent
20
Q

Regimens for Adults Age >60 Years or Adults With Poor Performance Status or Substantial Comorbidities

A

Stage I–II Favorable Disease
* A(B)VD (2 cycles) ± AVD (2 cycles) + ISRT (preferred)
* CHOP (4 cycles) + ISRT

Stage I–II Unfavorable or Stage III–IV Disease
* * A(B)VD (2 cycles) followed by AVD (4 cycles), if FDG-PET scan is negative after 2 cycles of ABVD.
* BV followed by AVD, conditionally followed by BV in patients with CR or PR and no neuropathy
* CHOP (6 cycles) ± ISRT

Bleomycin should be used with caution as it may not be tolerated in patients >60 years, and it should not be used beyond 2 cycles.

21
Q

Regimens for: Patients with Low EF

A

BV-DTIC (dacarbazine)

Add dexrazoxane to ABVD or CHOP, with close cardiology follow-up

22
Q

In times of vinblastine shortage, consider capping the dose at ____ mg to avoid wasting a vial.

A

10 mg

Consideration can also be made for substituting vinblastine with vincristine 1 mg.

In times of both vinblastine and dacarbazine shortage, consideration can be made for substituting ABVD with CHOP temporarily.

23
Q

Radiologic staging during pregnancy

A

Single view (posteroanterior [PA]) chest X-ray with abdominal shielding and an abdominal ultrasound or MRI without gadolinium

FDG-PET and CT imaging should be avoided.

24
Q

ABVD can be safely administered in the_________________ trimesters with excellent maternal and fetal outcomes.

A

Second and third trimesters

25
# TREATMENT APPROACH BY GESTATIONAL AGE First Trimester
* If asymptomatic or minimally symptomatic: **delay treatment** with close observation until second or third trimester * If severe symptoms or organ compromise: consider referral to center with expertise, consider pregnancy **termination** and urgent treatment, or single-agent **vinblastine** followed by ABVD after end of first trimester
26
# TREATMENT APPROACH BY GESTATIONAL AGE Second or Third Trimester
* If asymptomatic or minimally symptomatic: **delay treatment** with close observation until after delivery * If severe symptoms or organ compromise: treat with **ABVD**; work with high-risk obstetrics to avoid delivery while at nadir
27
# NLPHL Characteristics of high risk for initial or later transformation to large cell lymphoma
* Bulky disease * Subdiaphragmatic disease * Splenic involvement
28
# NLPHL Primary treatment: **Stage IA, IIA (Non-bulky)**
* ISRT (preferred or stage IA orcontiguous stage IIA) * Observe (stage IA patients with a completely excised solitary lymph node.)
29
# NLPHL Primary treatment: **Stage IB, IIB or Stage IA (Bulky)/Stage IIA (Bulky or noncontiguous)**
**Chemotherapy + Rituximab + ISRT** * ABVD/Rituximab + ISRT * CHOP/Rituximab + ISRT * CVP/Rituximab + ISRT **Rituximab**
30
# NLPHL Primary treatment: **Stage III–IV**
* Observe, if asymptomatic * Chemotherapy + Rituximab + ISRT * Rituximab * Local RT (palliation of locally symptomatic disease)
31
Complete response (CR) should be documented including reversion of FDG-PET/CT to "**negative**" within ____ months following completion of therapy.
3 months
32
Patients with 2 or more of the following risk factors are considered to be at high risk for relapse:
* Remission duration <1 year * Extranodal involvement * FDG-PET–positive response at time of transplant * B symptoms, and/or * >1 second-line/subsequent therapy regimen
