modern leukemia and lymphoma sequencing standards, is an improvement in signal-to-noise ratio for Hodgkin lymphoma given the incredible rarity of the Reed-Sternberg cell in its background nest of inflammatory infiltrate. Previous studies relying on laser capture microdissection could also increase the signal-to-noise ratio, but at the cost of time, effort, and still-low cell numbers. This work ...

Mononuclear leukocytes isloated from the blood of previously treated patients with advanced active Hodgkin disease contained high concentrations of monocytes and showed poor lymphocyte blastogenesis to mitogens. In five of eight patients with disseminated disease, blastogenesis became normal or improved markedly when the leukocyte suspensions were depleted of monocytes before culture. Addition ...

The term limited-stage Hodgkin lymphoma refers to those patients with stage I-II disease and an absence of bulky disease. Among those patients with classical Hodgkin lymphoma, approximately one-third of patients will fall into this category. As long-term disease control can now be anticipated in more than 90% of these patients, management strategies must increasingly address the need to reduce ...
