Overview
Hodgkin's lymphoma patients who are at an early stage of the disease has a favorable prognosis.
Prognosis
In 1998, an international effort[1] identified seven prognostic factors that accurately predict the success rate of conventional treatment in patients with locally extensive or advanced stage Hodgkin's lymphoma. Freedom from progression (FFP) at 5 years was directly related to the number of factors present in a patient. The 5-year FFP for patients with zero factors is 84%. Each additional factor lowers the 5-year FFP rate by 7%, such that the 5-year FFP for a patient with 5 or more factors is 42%.
The adverse prognostic factors identified in the international study are:
- Age >= 45 years
- Stage IV disease
- Hemoglobin < 10.5 g/dl
- Lymphocyte count < 600/µl or < 8%
- Male
- Albumin < 4.0 g/dl
- White blood count >= 15,000/µl
Other studies have reported the following to be the most important adverse prognostic factors: mixed-cellularity or lymphocyte-depleted histologies, male sex, large number of involved nodal sites, advanced stage, age of 40 years or more, the presence of B symptoms, high erythrocyte sedimentation rate, and bulky disease (widening of the mediastinum by more than one third, or the presence of a nodal mass measuring more than 10 cm in any dimension.)
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]
