      • Mixed cellularity
      • Lymphocyte rich 
      • Nodular sclerosing
    • Poor prognosis
      • Lymphocyte depleted (<40% 5 year survival rate)
  5. Presented with lymph node swelling; rubbery commonly at cervical however axillary and inguinal can be presented too.
  6. Other presentation; constitutional symptoms like nighT sweat, fever, loss of weight, pruritus and lethargy.
  7. Presentation of complication; SVC obstruction

  12. Staging by Ann Arbour; 4 stages with A- no systemic symptoms apart from pruritus. B-symptoms consist of loss of weight 10% within 6 month, drenching night sweat and fever >38. B symptoms suggest for more extensive disease.
  13. Management
    • For further history taking, physical examination and investigations
    • For chemoradiotheraphy
      • Favourable prognosis can have 3-4 cycles of ABVD regimes; adriamycin, bleomycin, vinblastine, dacarbazine followed by radiotherapy
      • For advanced disease; opt for BEACOPP; bleomycin, etoposide, adriamycin, adriamycin, cyclophosphamide, oxaliplatin, procarbazine, prednisolone
      • Problems with BEACOPP; higher rates of toxicity including reversible bone marrow suppression, secondary malignancies, sterility, and rare cases of fatal sepsis.
      • High dose chemotherapy and autologous HCT should be considered as the treatment of choice for the following subsets of patients:
        • Early relapse (less than 12 months after treatment) or induction failure.
        • Second relapse after conventional treatment for first relapse.
        • Generalized systemic relapse even beyond 12 months. 
    • Monitor side effect for chemotherapy and radiotherapy
    • Monitor for complications; SVC obstruction, infection
