FAQ: What is the chance of Hodgkin’s lymphoma recurrence?

Recurrence refers to the reappearance of Hodgkin’s lymphoma following a period of remission. The terms “relapse” and “induction failure” are used to specify the nature of the recurrence a patient encounters. A relapse occurs after a patient has achieved remission, whereas induction failure occurs when the initial course of treatment fails to induce remission.
