Our understanding of the biology of Hodgkin's lymphoma has improved, in particular the genetic and phenotypic characteristics of malignant cells and the signaling pathways involved in the pathogenesis of this disease.

This comprehensive Review discusses combined modality regimens for treating early-stage disease, approaches used for treating advanced disease and other novel regimens.
