Is there a radiation dose-response relationship for the risk of coronary heart disease in survivors of Hodgkin Lymphoma?
A linear radiation dose-response relationship predicts CHD risk in Hodgkin Lymphoma survivors, highlighting the importance of early risk factor management.
The linear radiation dose-response relationship identified can be used to predict CHD risk for future HL patients and survivors. Appropriate early management of CHD risk factors and stimulation of physical activity may reduce CHD risk in HL survivors.
Nimwegen et al. (Tue,) studied this question.
