Reduced-Intensity Chemotherapy and PET-guided RT De-escalation TO REDUCE TOXICITY

 PET done after BEACOPP chemotherapy

can guide the need for additional RT in

this setting.

Additional RT (30 Gy) given only to patients with PET+ residual disease > 2.5 cm

HOWEVER:

 Need for a careful extrapolation of this

PET-guided approach to weaker regimens

that might need more vigorous additional

radiotherapy.

 PET-guided RT was not assessed in a

randomised fashion.
