Description
Summary:Hodgkin's lymphoma is a systemic disease of the lymphatic tissue that most commonly affects adolescents and young adults. Modern treatment of the disease aims at long-term remission in patients. During this process, some patients develop complications that require timely diagnosis and treatment. It is fundamental to ensure continuity between pediatric oncologists, pulmonologists, and cardiologists, pediatricians on the one hand, and specialists in the relevant field treating adult patients. Keeping and maintaining accurate patient medical data serves as a springboard for screening adolescents and young adults in remission after treatment for Hodgkin's lymphoma. The treatment methods (radiation, chemotherapy, etc.) have different mechanisms of action on the disease and, accordingly, different potential early and late complications. The role of functional breathing studies and cardiopulmonary stress tests with exercise in this group of patients can explain the etiology of clinical complaints, assess the functional status and effect of treatment, as well as timely diagnosis of complications during the treatment process with the aim of early cardio rehabilitation and achieving durable clinical remission.
