Key result
Holistic survivorship care for Hodgkin lymphoma must address long-term physical, psychological, and socio-professional impacts, including implementing the 'Right to be forgotten' to prevent discrimination.
Why the study?
Significantly improved survivorship in Hodgkin lymphoma brings challenges such as persistent symptoms, secondary health complications, and socio-professional obstacles, necessitating comprehensive survivorship care plans.
Highlights the need for comprehensive survivorship care and legislative changes like the 'Right to be forgotten' to improve the quality of life and socio-professional integration of Hodgkin lymphoma survivors.
Cardiovascular diseases require dedicated monitoring in Hodgkin lymphoma survivors; supports comprehensive care plans but leaves optimal strategies open.
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: The significantly improved survivorship in Hodgkin lymphoma is fraught with challenges, including persistent symptoms, secondary health complications, and socio-professional obstacles. This review highlights the need for comprehensive survivorship care plans that include detection of relapse, assessment of long-term side effects, screening for secondary cancers, psychological support, and assistance with socio-professional integration. RECENT FINDINGS: Cardiovascular diseases, secondary malignancies and other associated risks remains an important problem related to the effective treatment of patients with Hodgkin lymphoma. Furthermore, fertility concerns and endocrine disorders remain prevalent issues posttreatment. An optimal evaluation of the risks before and after treatment is essential to reduce the impact of these side effects on quality of life. Addressing the socio-professional reintegration of survivors, the concept of the 'Right to be forgotten' emerges as a critical consideration. This principle seeks to eliminate discrimination against cancer survivors in accessing financial services and aims for legislative changes to ensure that past cancer diagnosis does not unfairly affect survivors' futures. Implementation of this 'Right to be forgotten' in the legislature, is currently underway in European countries. SUMMARY: The focus of survivorship care has shifted towards the holistic management of these long-term outcomes. Quality of life for Hodgkin lymphoma survivors is affected by various treatment-related factors, with evidence suggesting that physical, psychological and socio-professional domains remain impacted years after treatment.

Stepanishyna et al. (2024) conducted a review in Hodgkin lymphoma. Survivorship care and the Right to be forgotten was evaluated. Holistic survivorship care for Hodgkin lymphoma must address long-term physical, psychological, and socio-professional impacts, including implementing the 'Right to be forgotten' to prevent discrimination.
