Amritsar, Mar.28, 2026:- A 42-year-old woman diagnosed with early-stage Classical Hodgkin Lymphoma treated successfully at Livasa Hospital, Amritsar recently.
The patient, with no prior medical history, presented with a swelling on the right side of her neck that persisted for nearly two months. Diagnostic investigations confirmed Classical Hodgkin Lymphoma (stage IIA–early stage favourable).
Dr. Amritjot Singh Randhawa, Consultant Medical Oncologist and Hemato-Oncologist at Livasa Hospital, Amritsar said that a detailed assessment, including PET-CT imaging, revealed localized disease—an early-stage presentation associated with a high probability of cure.
The patient demonstrated strong baseline fitness with normal cardiac function , ECG, pulmonary function, and negative viral markers, making her an ideal candidate for standard chemotherapy.
A personalized treatment plan was initiated, including the insertion of a chemo port for safe and comfortable administration of therapy.
The patient underwent three cycles of the standard ABVD chemotherapy regimen, supported by continuous monitoring and comprehensive supportive care.
A follow-up PET-CT scan demonstrated a Complete Metabolic Response, indicating no evidence of active disease. The patient has since resumed a healthy lifestyle and remains under routine follow-up.
Dr. Amritjot Singh Randhawa further said that cancer is no longer something to fear — it is something to treat wisely.
He said that with the right approach and timely care, complete recovery is achievable. Early-stage Hodgkin lymphoma, in particular, has excellent cure rates when managed appropriately.
