Kaplan-Meier Estimates of Overall Survival According to the Patients' Response to Initial Chemotherapy and to Whether They Underwent Randomization
Aleman, B. et al. N Engl J Med 2003;348:2396-2406
AVBD x 2 cycles → PET scan
ABVD x 2 cycles → PET scan
– Non-bulky: possible slight increase in relapses with adequate CT only
– Bulky: CMT standard, but PET may define subgroup that does not need RT
– With adequate CT additional IFRT does not improve PFS or OS for patient who achieve CR after CT – IFRT may improve PFS for patients who achieve PR after CT
