Abstract:
The treatment of Hodgkin lymphoma continues to be based on combination chemotherapy and radiation therapy. Although this treatment strategy produces a high cure rate, short- and long-term toxic effects continue to be problematic for young cured patients. In this review we focus on emerging novel therapies using small molecules that target specific survival pathways in the cancer cells. This approach is aimed at improving the cure rate while reducing treatment-related toxicity.

Cancer Therapies
However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...
