Summary

The objectives of this study are to assess the feasibility and efficacy of a combination chemotherapy (PVAG) in elderly patients with advanced stages Hodgkin's lymphoma.

Detailed description

Gemcitabine shows promising activity in patients with relapsed lymphoma either administered as single agent or in combination with other cytotoxic agents. No trial to date evaluated its role in patients with primary Hodgkin's lymphoma. We therefore developed a three-weekly regimen based on the standard ABVD regimen.
