Abstract:
Arising from the immune system and located primarily in lymphoid organs, Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) is one of the most common cancers in young adults. Risk-adapted first-line treatment usually consisting of multi-agent chemotherapy and often incorporating consolidative radiation therapy aims at long-term cure. Although this is achieved in the vast majority of patients, therapy-related side effects such as organ damage, second cancers, and fatigue constitute considerable sequelae and outweigh HL as the cause of mortality after successful first-line treatment. In addition, intensive conventional therapy is seldom feasible in elderly or frail patients, diminishing chances of cure in this growing population of patients. The rapidly growing understanding of HL biology, innovative clinical trials, and the incorporation of novel drugs might help to overcome these obstacles in the management of HL. In this review, recent advances in the understanding and care of HL will be summarized with a focus on ongoing and future strategies which might help move things forward.

Magnetic Field due to Moving Charges
Consider a point charge moving with a constant velocity. Like the electric field, the magnetic field at any point is directly proportional to the magnitude of the charge and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the source point and the field point. However, unlike the electric field, the magnetic field is always perpendicular to the plane containing the line...
