While the treatment of relapsed or refractory Hodgkin lymphoma has seen novel approaches in recent years improving outcomes for many patients, high-risk patients develop progressive disease and have limited treatment options.

Assessing prognosis is an important step prior to treatment selection for a patient with classic Hodgkin lymphoma, explained Joseph Michael Tuscano, MD. Other steps aid in the treatment and management of toxicity.

The NCCN guidelines options available for patients with relapsed/refractory DLBCL include gemcitabine/oxaliplatin with or without rituximab, polatuzumab vedotin with or without bendamustine and rituximab, or the combination of bendamustine and rituximab alone.
