Although radiotherapy is highly effective for the treatment of Hodgkin lymphoma, the realization of its potential long-term toxicity and the demonstration of excellent results from combination chemotherapy have led to a retreat from its use in early-stage disease. Recent trials using functional imaging may allow better identification of those patients for whom radiotherapy may be safely omitted without compromising cure rates and this review examines the evidence for this.
尽管放射疗法对霍奇金淋巴瘤的治疗非常有效，但认识到其潜在的长期毒性以及联合化疗显示出的优异效果，使得放射疗法在早期疾病治疗中的应用有所减少。最近使用功能成像的试验可能有助于更好地识别那些可以安全省略放射疗法而不影响治愈率的患者，本综述将审视这方面的证据。
