A.S. was recently diagnosed with Hodgkin disease and scheduled for a staging procedure. His previous axillary lymph node biopsy result was positive for Reed-Sternberg cells. The surgeon charted the results of the staging procedure as “stage I.” What is the difference between Hodgkin disease and non-Hodgkin lymphoma? (Outline the primary difference, then outline the various pathophysiologic aspects of each disease., along with symptoms.) What is the prognosis and predicted therapy for A.S. now that he has been diagnosed with stage I Hodgkin disease? (List the 5 year survival rate of Hodgkin disease and outline the treatment plan for Stage I Hodgkin disease. Also, explain how the treatment would differ if it is discovered that A.S. actually has Stage II disease.) What side effects might A.S. expect from this therapy? (List at least 4 side effects.)
