Is it acceptable to treat pediatric Hodgkin's lymphoma with an involved nodal field outside the setting of a clinical trial?
Answer from: Radiation Oncologist at Academic Institution
It probably is. Although not proven by randomized trial/s in pediatric patients, the practice is accepted in adults. In children where long term morbidity of radiation therapy is of greater concern, it would not be unreasonable to use involved nodal field in combination with chemotherapy.
