Keywords:
Hodgkin lymphoma - Pattern - IraqAbstract
Aims : To evaluate the pattern of patients with Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) in Middle Euphrates region of Iraq. Materials & Methods: A retrospective study conducted at Al- Hussein cancer center in Karbala province of Iraq between February 2012 and June 2020. Results: There were 193 patients with HL , 103 were male, 90 were female , M:F ratio was 1.14:1. Mean age at presentation was 27.17 years. Cervical lymph nodes was the common site for presentation (74.09%). Stage II was the most frequent stage (40.93%) while stage I was the least frequent (11.92%) . Of classical HL type , mixed cellularity was the most common (49.74%) , while nodular lymphocyte predominant was (1.55%) only. Regarding treatment outcome (79.27%) of patients achieved complete remission , (16.06%) relapsed , while (5.70%) were refractory. Conclusion: The distribution of HL is mostly in young patients , the disease usually presented in early stage with very good response to treatment.
