Clinical Context & Background

Early-stage classical Hodgkin lymphoma is commonly divided into favorable and unfavorable groups to guide chemotherapy and radiation strategy. GHSG, EORTC/LYSA, and NCCN definitions overlap but are not identical.
This tool classifies stage I-II disease using the selected system and shows which unfavorable factors are present. It is a treatment-planning aid only; final management should use the current local guideline, PET response, histology, fertility/cardiopulmonary considerations, and lymphoma specialist judgment.
Formula Logic
Unfavorable if any selected-system unfavorable factor is present; otherwise favorable.

Reference Data

SystemUnfavorable Factors Summarized
GHSGLarge mediastinal mass, extranodal disease, >2 nodal areas, or ESR >50 without B symptoms / >30 with B symptoms
EORTC/LYSALarge mediastinal mass, age >=50, >=4 nodal areas, or ESR >50 without B symptoms / >30 with B symptoms
NCCNBulky mediastinal or >10 cm disease, B symptoms, ESR >50, or >3 disease sites

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do GHSG, EORTC, and NCCN sometimes disagree?

The systems use overlapping but different cutoffs for nodal sites, bulky mediastinum, age, extranodal disease, B symptoms, and ESR. Use the system specified by the protocol or guideline being followed.

Does favorable risk mean no treatment is needed?

No. Favorable risk describes a lower-risk stage I-II group for risk-adapted therapy planning; treatment still depends on guideline context and PET response.
