Stem cell transplantation remains a cornerstone in managing relapsed/refractory classic Hodgkin lymphoma, though its role is evolving with the integration of targeted therapies. Autologous stem cell transplantation achieves cure rates of 50% to 60%, enhanced significantly with the introduction of novel agents including brentuximab vedotin and checkpoint inhibitor-based salvage and consolidation regimens. Allogeneic transplantation with reduced-intensity conditioning offers curative potential for patients with disease that relapses after autologous stem cell transplantation. This article reviews the evidence for autologous and allogeneic stem cell transplantation, their integration with novel agents, and the emerging transplant-sparing strategies.
