Bob is 25 year old man in good health who began to experience night sweats and shortness of breath. These symptoms coincided with the appearance of two lumps above his right clavicle. Concerned, Bob went to see his primary care doctor, who formed a reasonable preliminary diagnosis of Hodgkin Lymphoma and referred Bob to an oncologist.
1. What tests would the oncologist run on Bob to form a definitive diagnosis? What data would be needed and how would it be obtained? What data results would show that the preliminary diagnosis was correct?
2. Bob's lymphoma is confined to the 2 'lumps' above his right clavicle. Based on this information, how would the oncologist stage Bob's lymphoma?
3. Based on this stage, Bob's oncologist gives him an appropriate combination chemotherapy. Describe this combination chemotherapy and BE SPECIFIC: make sure to describe the therapy, its components, and how it works to kill the malignant cells!
4. Bob responded to the combination chemotherapy for a few years, then relapsed. What therapeutic option might be available to next treat Bob? What does it target? How does it work?
