Overview
The early stage of the Hodgkin's lymphoma is associated with the most favorable prognosis. The 5-year survival rate of patients with Hodgkin's lymphoma varies with the stage of the disease.
Prognosis
A. Prognostic factors for early (Stage I and II) Hodgkin's lymphoma[1]
- Hodgkin's lymphoma are divided into favorable and unfavorable groups based on prognostic factors.
a. Early favorable Hodgkin's lymphoma
- Early favorable Hodgkin's lymphoma means that no factors listed below are present.
b. Early unfavorable Hodgkin's lymphoma
- Early unfavorable Hodgkin's lymphoma means that one or more of the following factors are present:
- Bulky disease
- Larger than one-third the width of the chest
- At least 10 cm in its greatest dimension in areas other than the chest
- Presence of extra nodal disease (in areas other than the lymph nodes)
- 3 or more areas of lymph node involvement
- Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) of 50 mm/h or higher
- Mixed cellularity Hodgkin's lymphoma
- Presence of B symptoms
- Unexplained fever over 38°C
- Drenching night sweats
- Unexplained weight loss – loss of more than 10% of original body weight within the last 6 months
B. Prognostic factors in advanced (stage III and IV) Hodgkin's lymphoma[1]
The International Prognostic Factors Project (IPFP) has developed an international prognostic score (IPS) based on 7 adverse factors for advanced (stage III and IV) Hodgkin's lymphoma. The factors that are present are combined to give a single score between 0 and 7.
a. Advanced favorable Hodgkin's lymphoma
- Advanced favorable Hodgkin's lymphoma means that 0 to 3 factors listed below are present.
b. Advanced unfavorable Hodgkin's lymphoma
- Advanced unfavorable Hodgkin's lymphoma means that 4 or more of the following factors are present:
- Stage IV disease
- Age 45 years or older
- Male sex
- Albumin level less than 4.0 g/dL
- Hemoglobin level less than 10.5 g/dL
- White blood cell (WBC) count at least 15,000/mm3
- Lymphocyte count less than 600/mm3 or less than 8% of the total WBC count
5-Year Survival
- Between 2004 and 2010, the 5-year relative survival of patients with Hodgkin's lymphoma was 87.7%.[2]
- When stratified by age, the 5-year relative survival of patients with Hodgkin's lymphoma was 90.5% and 52.8% for patients <65 and ≥ 65 years of age respectively.[2]
- The survival of patients with Hodgkin's lymphoma varies with the stage of the disease. Shown below is a table depicting the 5-year relative survival by the stage of Hodgkin's lymphoma:[2]
| Stage | 5-year relative survival (%), (2004-2010) |
| All stages | 85.3% |
| Localized | 90.8% |
| Regional | 92.1% |
| Distant | 76.2% |
| Unstaged | 80.7% |
- The survival of patients with Hodgkin's lymphoma also varies with the subtype of Hodgkin's lymphoma. Shown below is the 5-year relative survival by the subtype of Hodgkin's lymphoma:[2]
- Classical Hodgkin's lymphoma: 84.8%
- Lymphocyte-rich: 87.1%
- Mixed cellularity: 80%
- Lymphocyte-depleted: 56.6%
- Nodular sclerosis: 89.4%
- Classical Hodgkin's lymphoma not otherwise specified: 75.2%
- Nodular lymphocyte predominant Hodgkin's lymphoma: 95.3%
- Classical Hodgkin's lymphoma: 84.8%
- Shown below is an image depicting the 5-year conditional relative survival (probability of surviving in the next 5-years given the cohort has already survived 0, 1, 3 years) between 1998 and 2010 of Hodgkin's lymphoma by stage at diagnosis according to SEER. These graphs are adapted from SEER: The Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Program of the National Cancer Institute.[2]
