Frequency of Pulmonary Toxicity in Patients Treated for Hodgkin Lymphoma

January 5, 2025 updated by: Muhammad Naveed Babur, Superior University

Pulmonary toxicity during Hodgkin lymphoma treatment is significant for a variety of reasons, ranging from clinical care to therapeutic innovation and patient outcomes.

Study Overview

Status

Active, not recruiting

Conditions

Hodgkin Lymphoma

Intervention / Treatment

Diagnostic test: group 1

Detailed Description

Understanding chemotherapy-induced pulmonary issues, particularly bleomycin-induced toxicity, might enhance treatment efficacy, side effects, and quality of life for Hodgkin lymphoma patients. For Hodgkin lymphoma chemotherapy patients with pulmonary difficulties, which result in significant patient morbidity and mortality, early detection, proactive surveillance, and rapid management are required. Identifying the prevalence, risk factors, and clinical signs of pulmonary toxicity helps clinicians stratify treatment.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
high-resolution computed tomography Time Frame: 12 Months	An HRCT (high-resolution computed tomography) scan is a type of CT scan healthcare providers use to get detailed images of your lungs. Providers most commonly use it to diagnose and monitor interstitial lung diseases and conditions that affect your small airways and alveoli (air sacs).	12 Months
