title: Radiotherapy of hodgkin lymphoma: indications, new fields, and techniques.
abstract: In recent years, radiotherapy in patients with Hodgkin lymphoma has evolved considerably because of sophisticated imaging technologies and radiation delivery techniques. Even more recently, a new radiation field concept has emerged to ensure better normal tissue protection while preserving an excellent clinical outcome. The role of radiation therapy is also rapidly changing because the concept of a risk-adapted treatment strategy, in which combined-modality treatments were the order of the day, is now expanding into a concept of response-adapted treatments.
