Hodgkin's Lymphoma
Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL) is one of oncology's most curable cancers, with overall cure rates exceeding 85–90% across all stages. Treatment has evolved from ABVD to the brentuximab vedotin–AVD (BV-AVD) combination for advanced-stage disease. Checkpoint inhibitors — nivolumab and pembrolizumab — exploit PD-L1 overexpression on Reed-Sternberg cells and have transformed relapsed/refractory management.
