Amritsar: A 42-year-old woman suffering from early-stage Classical Hodgkin Lymphoma was successfully treated at Livasa Hospital, Amritsar. The patient had no prior medical history. For approximately two months, she had experienced swelling on the right side of her neck. Diagnostic investigations confirmed the presence of Classical Hodgkin Lymphoma.
Dr. Amritjot Singh Randhawa, Consultant Medical Oncologist and Hemato-Oncologist at Livasa Hospital, Amritsar, explained that a detailed evaluation—including PET-CT imaging—revealed that the disease was confined to a single location; this is characteristic of an early-stage condition and carries a very high probability of cure.
The patient was in good physical condition, with normal cardiac function, ECG results, and pulmonary function; furthermore, her viral markers were negative, making her an ideal candidate for standard chemotherapy.
A personalized treatment plan was initiated—including the placement of a chemo port—to ensure the treatment was administered in a safe and comfortable manner.
The patient underwent three cycles of standard ABVD chemotherapy, accompanied by continuous monitoring and comprehensive supportive care.
A follow-up PET-CT scan demonstrated a complete metabolic response, revealing no evidence of active disease. The patient has since adopted a healthy lifestyle and remains under regular follow-up care.
Dr. Amritjot Singh Randhawa further stated that cancer is no longer something to be feared, but rather a condition that requires intelligent and informed treatment. With the right approach and timely care, a complete recovery is possible. He added that, particularly in cases of early-stage Hodgkin Lymphoma, proper management yields excellent cure rates.
