Depending on age and risk factors, more than 80% of patients with Hodgkin Lymphoma (HL) are currently being cured.1 Long-term survivors, however, are at risk for treatment-related complications such as infertility, cardiac or pulmonary dysfunction or thyroid-related sequelae. Increased risk of secondary cancers has been observed after chemo- and radiotherapy. The malignancies most frequently associated with chemotherapy include acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS).2-5
