Immunotherapies for Hodgkin's lymphoma

Crit Rev Oncol Hematol. 2008 May;66(2):135-44. doi: 10.1016/j.critrevonc.2007.10.001. Epub 2007 Nov 19.

Abstract

Multiple immune evasion strategies characterize the pathobiology of Hodgkin's lymphoma. These must be considered when developing and testing immunotherapeutic approaches for this disease. The clinical experience with adoptive immunotherapy of Epstein-Barr virus positive tumors, and with monoclonal antibodies directed against CD30, CD20, and other antigens, is herein reviewed.
