Is hodgkins lymphoma curable ? if its curable is that Expensive ?

Question:

Answers:
Hodgkin's lymphoma, formerly known as Hodgkin's disease, is a type of lymphoma. Hodgkin's lymphoma is characterized clinically by the orderly spread of disease from one lymph node group to another and by the development of B symptoms with advanced disease. Pathologically, the disease is characterized by the presence of Reed-Sternberg cells. Hodgkin's lymphoma was one of the first cancers to be rendered curable by combination chemotherapy.

This cancer is treated with usual treatements, surgery,(if possible) chemotheraphy, Radiation theraphy

With appropriate treatment, over 85% of Hodgkin's lymphoma cases are curable.

The high cure rates and long survival of many patients with Hodgkin's lymphoma has led to a high concern with late adverse effects of treatment, including cardiovascular disease and second malignancies such as acute leukemias, lymphomas, and solid tumors within the radiation therapy field. Most patients with early stage disease are now treated with abbreviated chemotherapy and involved-field radiation therapy rather than with radiation therapy alone. Clinical research strategies are exploring reduction of the duration of chemotherapy and dose and volume of radiation therapy in an attempt to reduce late morbidity and mortality of treatment while maintaining high cure rates.

Anyway best of luck.
