This Might Be The Future of Hodgkin Lymphoma Treatment

Adcetris has actually been around since 2011. It was only used them for people who had Hodgkin's for the second time after already getting a stem cell transplant or at least two other chemotherapy cocktails. It was really a last resort type of medication back then. But the miracles doctors witnessed in relapse patients using this drug drew attention. When there was a bleomycin shortage in 2016, doctors at Stanford started to use Adcetris for their advanced stage patients.
