Late Cardiac Toxic Effects Associated With Treatment Protocols for Hodgkin Lymphoma in Children
The study evaluates the risk of cardiac toxic effects associated with therapies used in pediatric Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) trials. Analyzing data from 2563 patients treated in four consecutive Children's Oncology Group clinical trials between 2002 and 2022, the study finds a decrease in the 30-year cumulative incidence of severe cardiac disease from 10% to 6%. The reduction is attributed to decreased radiation therapy use and increased dexrazoxane cardioprotection, despite higher cumulative doxorubicin doses. The findings suggest that modern HL treatment protocols are associated with a net reduction in late cardiac disease, and recommend refining survivorship follow-up guidelines to align with treatment-associated risks.
