CONCLUSIONS

There was no significant difference in RR, FFS, OS and 5-year

toxicity when ABVD (+RT for BMD) is compared with Stanford

V (+ RT for nodal sites >5 cm and macroscopic splenic disease)

Overall toxicity between the 2 arms was similar, but more

lymphopenia and neuropathy was seen in Stanford V

ABVD remains the standard of care

Patients with locally extensive disease do better than patients

with advanced disease

For patients with 3-7 IPS risk factors, there is a trend favoring

ABVD as measured by FFS
