What are the cure rates for stage 3 and stage 4 classic Hodgkin lymphoma in young adults age 29?
The outlook for young adults with stage 3 and stage 4 Hodgkin lymphoma is quite encouraging. For people younger than 45 at diagnosis, the five-year survival rate is 94.4 percent overall.
Looking at specific stages:
* Stage 3 has an 85.5 percent five-year survival rate
* Stage 4 has a 78.5 percent five-year survival rate
At 29, you fall into the younger age group that typically has better outcomes. About 80 percent of people with Hodgkin lymphoma are completely cured, and in younger individuals, the cure rate approaches 90 percent.
Even advanced-stage Hodgkin lymphoma can be cured with treatment. The disease may go away completely and not return. These survival rates are based on data from 2011-2017, so current outcomes may be even better with newer treatments.
Treatment for stage 3 and stage 4 typically involves several rounds of intensive chemotherapy, often with radiation therapy for larger tumors.
