Prognostic Significance of ctDNA in HL
Specific somatic mutations using ctDNA will be analyzed in predefined subgroups of cHL (e.g., age <60 and ≥ 60 years, EBV). These mutations will be correlated with response to the treatment in the first line, in the relapse, during brentuximab vedotin and/or nivolumab treatment. Circulating tumor DNA will be correlated with the extent of tumor mass and chemo/radiotherapy.
- EligibilityCriteria: Inclusion Criteria:  Patients ≥ 18 years with newly histologically confirmed classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL) will be enrolled signing the informed consent  Exclusion Criteria:  Pacients without signing the informed consent - Gender: All - MinimumAge: 18 Years - StdAgeList: Adult, Older Adult - StudyPopulation: Patients ≥ 18 years with new HL, all patients will undergo standard diagnostic procedures and will be divided based by stages and risk factors. Patients below 60 years will be divided into 3 treatment risk groups and treated according to the standard recommendations explained as well as elderly patients (see study groups). Younger relapsed patients will be treated with salvage platinum-based chemotherapy followed by high-dose chemotherapy and autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT). Relapses after ASCT in younger patients or after at least two lines of chemotherapy in elderly patients will be treated with brentuximab vedotin (up to 16 cycles) or nivolumab until progression. - SamplingMethod: Probability Sample
