default
Posted on Fri, 4 Nov 2016
Question: I have been diagnosed with Interfollicular Hodgkin Lymphoma, Stage 1. I have not been able to find much online with regards to the ideal treatment for Interfollicular Hodgkin Lymphoma, as I understand it is a rare variety of Lymphoma. Kindly advise what is the best treatment and what further test are required. I have already done a PET scan and they said it has not spread.

Brief Answer:
Treatment like standard Hodgkin lymphoma

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for your query.

Interfollicular Hodgkin lymphoma is just a pathological variation. Does not change treatment much. As it is stage 1, results are good.

I would suggest chemo, usually with ABVD for 4 cycles followed by radiation.

Hope this helps.
Regards
