Real-world treatment outcomes for Hodgkin lymphoma in South Africa: a prospective observational study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Prospective data from sub-Saharan Africa suggests that treatment outcomes for people living with HIV (PWH) with Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) are similar to those without HIV. However, real-world data from high-resource settings and retrospective studies from sub-Saharan Africa, suggest inferior outcomes. We set out to evaluate the real-world treatment outcomes for HL in South Africa to better understand the disparate outcomes.

Methods

We established a prospective, observational cohort of newly diagnosed, adult (≥ 18 years) HL cases recruited from Chris Hani Baragwanath Academic and Netcare Olivedale Hospitals in Johannesburg, South Africa between March 2021 and March 2023. Participants were followed for up to 18 months after enrollment with data censored on December 23rd
