Abstract:
Radiation therapy has a key role in the combined modality treatment of early-stage
Hodgkin’s Lymphoma (HL). Nevertheless, late toxicity still remains an issue. A modern approach
in HL radiotherapy includes lower doses and smaller fields, together with the implementation of
sophisticated and dedicated delivery techniques. Aim of the present review is to discuss the current
role of radiotherapy and its potential future developments, with a focus on major clinical trials,
technological advances and their repercussion in the clinical management of HL patients.
