Patterns of Involved-Field Radiation Therapy (IFRT) Protocol Deviations in Pediatric versus Adolescent and Young Adults with Hodgkin Lymphoma: A Report from the Children’s Oncology Group (COG) AHOD0031

As ******** is the largest phase III study to date on intermediate-risk Hodgkin Lymphoma in pediatric patients, we investigated the patterns of radiation protocol deviation and relapse between the pediatric and adolescent and young adult patient cohorts. We demonstrate that there were no statistically significant differences in deviation patterns between the two cohorts, though of those that received IFRT, there was a significant difference in cumulative incidence rates of relapse between the two groups.
