Bleomycin-related pneumonitis (BIP) has recently emerged as one of the main causes of death in Hodgkin's disease treated with standard chemotherapy ABVD (doxorubicin, bleomycin, vinblastine, dacarbazine). We used 18-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) scanning in a patient with Hodgkin's disease who developed bleomycin lung toxicity following the 4(th) cycle of chemother...

Recently a trend to treat patients with more chemotherapy alone has been promoted by some claiming that chemotherapy alone is good enough, and the overall survival ...
