Proton Therapy for Hodgkin Lymphoma (HL01)

January 8, 2019 updated by: University of Florida

Improving the Therapeutic Ratio by Using Proton Beam Radiation Therapy for Patients With Stage IA-IIIBX (Bulky/Non-bulky) Hodgkin Lymphoma Involving the Mediastinum Following Standard Chemotherapy

The purpose of this study is to reduce the risk of radiation related side effects and complications by treating with radiation (protons or photons) that exposes less of normal organs to low dose radiation.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

3 treatment plans will be created to deliver between a total of 21-39.6 Gray (Gy)/Centigray Equivalents (CGE) to the planning target volume (PTV).

  1. Proton Plan
  2. Conventional Plan
  3. Intensity Modulated Radiotherapy (IMRT) Plan

The patient will then receive the radiation modality with the lowest percentage of the body receiving 4 Gy (V4Gy/CGE)
