Role of Consolidative Radiation Therapy After Autologous Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation for the Treatment of Relapsed or Refractory Hodgkin Lymphoma

The addition of consolidative radiation therapy after high-dose chemotherapy and AHCT demonstrated a significant improvement in 2-year PFS and no impact on OS. Radiation therapy was well tolerated, with minimal toxicity. Our study supports a role of consolidative radiation therapy in patients with HL treated with AHCT.
