Abstract:
Hodgkin lymphoma is one of the most common cancers in adolescents and young adults (AYAs), a population with distinct biological, clinical, and developmental characteristics. Yet care remains fragmented between pediatric and adult systems contributing to variability in treatment exposure and survivorship outcomes. We synthesized current evidence on AYA HL epidemiology, biology, treatment strategies, supportive care needs, long-term toxicity risk, and survivorship. AYAs have access to multiple efficacious treatment options with high cure rates, but long-term survivors face significant medical, psychosocial, and financial effects with notable risks for cardiopulmonary disease, secondary malignancies, fertility impairment, and unmet psychosocial needs. Harmonized pediatric-adult treatment frameworks, AYA-focused support, and developmentally tailored survivorship care are essential to improving outcomes for AYA HL survivors.

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...
