Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) is diagnosed in most patients between the ages of 15 and 34. It is very rare in infants. Children and adolescents with HL have special needs for their treatment and care.
Usually, specialized cancer centers for children and adolescents are best equipped to address these needs. These centers offer the advantage of having doctors called “pediatric oncologists,” who specialize in treating children with cancer and therefore understand their unique needs.
It is important for parents of children diagnosed with HL to talk to members of the oncology team about the:
Doctors use all of this information about the patient’s disease to determine the most effective treatment approach. They can develop treatment plans that limit the amount of therapy required to bring about remission. It is important for adult patients and parents of children who will be undergoing treatment to discuss their children’s planned therapy with members of the oncology team in order to learn about the treatment schedule and the drugs that will be used, as well as their potential side effects and long-term effects.
Usually, one or more of the following treatment approaches are used for children with HL:
Children and adolescents are treated with dose-intensive regimens that are adjusted based on monitoring of early treatment response. The following is a list of just some of the many drug combinations used:
Children may experience treatment-related side effects, both in the short and long term. Some effects include second cancers, cardiovascular disease, hypothyroidism and fertility issues. Side effects can affect learning, growth, cognitive development and psychosocial development. These and other possible long-term and late
effects can be managed.
When children return to school, families will face new challenges because their main focus, up to that point, had been getting through treatment. By being aware of possible side effects, parents can work with school personnel to help their children cope and manage their schoolwork.
When you are diagnosed the first thing to do would be to get a treatment plan from your doctor. This treatment plan may be very specific to your case considering the stage of HL and its severity. Once you get your treatment plan instead of heading for a treatment right away, a better thing to do would be to seek a second opinion. The second opinion will not only confirm the diagnosis but will also help you explore various treatment options.
