2016 
e19536 Background: Prognosis of patients with Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) has substantially improved but therapy of HL can however contribute to delayed toxicity. Long term treatment outcomes of HL in our local population were evaluated. Methods: Clinical and treatment data was prospectively collected from all patients with a histological diagnosis of HL. Patients were all fully staged with CT scan and bone marrow biopsy. Results: On the basis of 217 patients seen at the National Cancer Centre Singapore between 1990–2008, we found that there was a peak in young adulthood with 103 patients who were diagnosed before the age of 30 (48%), median age of presentation 32 (range 17–84). Patients who were young (< 30 years) were more likely to present with nodular sclerosis HL (p=0.0001). Treatment outcomes were comparable to other published series, 85% of cases received ABVD based treatment. 5 year OS for early stage HL was 92% and 88% for advanced stage HL. Overall FFTF was 93% at 5 years. Of note, comparing patients ...
