Named for Dr. Thoma Hodgkin, Hodgkin lymphoma is a cancer of the blood and bone marrow that develops when white blood cells undergo abnormal changes. These changes cause the blood cells to grow and divide rapidly, sometimes spreading beyond the lymphatic system. This type of cancer can compromise the body’s immune system and compromise its ability to fight off infections. 

Choosing a Hodgkin Lymphoma Specialist in Florida

There is a lot of uncertainty regarding Hodgkin lymphoma since its causes are still uncertain. Therefore, if you suspect you have or have been diagnosed with Hodgkin, it's best to consult with a team of experts with experiences treating all forms of this relatively rare condition. 

Moffitt Cancer Center’s Malignant Hematology Program includes a multispecialty team of experts who exclusively treat patients with lymphoma, leukemia and other blood and marrow disorders. They collaborate in a tumor board to develop individualized treatment plans for each patient. Our specialists includes:

  • Medical oncologists 
  • Radiation oncologists
  • Pathologists 
  • Pediatric hematology oncologists

Latest Treatment Options for Hodgkin Lymphoma

Treatment of Hodgkin lymphoma will depend on a number of factors including the type and stage of the condition as well as the patient’s age and overall health, but if caught early treatment can be highly successful. Make sure your Hodgkin lymphoma specialists have experience creating personalized treatment plans and take into account the risk of side effects, such as chemotherapy-induced cardiotoxicity, as the medications used to treat Hodgkin lymphoma can be quite strong.  

Moffitt’s team of cancer experts evaluate a wide range of patient-specific factors and evidence-based best practices to determine the most appropriate treatment options, which could include chemotherapy, radiation therapy, immunotherapy, or stem cell transplantation.
