Initial cancer treatment and survival in children, adolescents, and young adults with Hodgkin lymphoma: A population-based study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) is a treatable tumor affecting children, adolescents and young adults (AYAs; 15-39 years old). Population-based studies report worse survival for non-White children and AYAs but have limited data on individual therapeutic exposures.
