Mayo Clinic Talks 650: Hodgkin’s Lymphoma

Host: Darryl S. Chutka, M.D. 

Guest: Stephen Ansell, M.D., Ph.D. 

Hodgkin’s Lymphoma is an uncommon but very curable malignancy involving the lymphatic system. It most commonly presents in young adults as well as middle-aged and older individuals. Although Hodgkin’s is generally managed by hematologists or oncologists, the primary care provider plays a major role in its recognition, hopefully leading to a timely diagnosis and eventual staging. What are some early signs of Hodgkin’s and what preliminary work-up should we do prior to referring the patient for definitive care? How do we monitor those who have had successful treatment of Hodgkin’s? These are some of the questions I’ll be asking my guest, Dr. Stephen Ansell, Chair of the Division of Hematology at the Mayo Clinic as we discuss Hodgkin’s Lymphoma.
