Treatment of primary progressive or recurrent childhood Hodgkin lymphoma may include the following:

• Chemotherapy with low- dose radiation therapy to involved areas for stage I or stage II non-bulky disease. Adolescent patients who have reached full growth may be treated with standard-dose radiation therapy.
• High-dose chemotherapy with stem cell transplant with or without radiation therapy.

Check for U.S. clinical trials from NCI's PDQ Cancer Clinical Trials Registry that are now accepting patients with recurrent/refractory childhood Hodgkin lymphoma.
