Abstract
To identify prognostic factors for patients transplanted for relapsed or refractory Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) we carried out a combined analysis of patients followed prospectively on 3 consecutive protocols at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center. One hundred and fifty-three patients with chemosensitive disease following ICE (ifosfamide, carboplatin, etoposide)-based salvage therapy (ST) proceeded to high-dose chemoradiotherapy followed by autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT). Patients were evaluated...
