AB Hodgkin  lymphoma  (HL)  is  1  of  the  most  common  cancers  arising  in  adolescents  and  young  adults,  and  1  of  the  most  curable.  This  was  not  the  case  when  Thomas  Hodgkin  first  described  the  “morbid  appearances  of  the  absorbent  glands  and  spleen”  in  1832;  all  7  of  the  cases  he  described  died  of  their  disease,  as  no  effective  therapies  were  available.  Today,  the  vast  majority  of  adolescents  and  young  adults  diagnosed  with  HL  will  be  long-term  survivors,  as  a  result  of  highly  effective  treatment  regimens  developed  through  cooperative  group  trials  conducted  during  the  last  5  decades.
