A tango program for cancer survivors is showing to have benefits far beyond developing graceful dance moves.

Data from the KEYNOTE-087 study showed overall response rates of about 70 to 80 percent in three separate groups of relapsed/refractory Hodgkin lymphoma patients.

A recent study showed that for young women who were treated for cancer, the issue of fertility is not adequately addressed.

Men whose partners are diagnosed with cancer may need to learn new strategies to become effective caregivers.

Only 30 percent of survivors at high risk for cardiac damage adhered to long-term recommendations including an echocardiogram, electrocardiogram or multigated acquisition scan.

Paring down treatment for Hodgkin lymphoma may reduce the risk of long-term side effects. Minimizing without hurting cure rates is the challenge.

Patients with cancer aren't the only ones who need a little levity in their lives.

Shannon Kerr isn't shy about proclaiming her status as a cancer survivor. At the 2016 Battlefrog Fiesta Bowl in Phoenix, Kerr was joined by a stadium full of fans in drawing attention to the disease and the toll it can take.

Two transplants, three mini triathons. Running the race for myself and others shows how lessons learned in the hospital translate to victory on the outside.

Questions persist regarding mechanisms of PD-L1 overexpression in lymphoid malignancies, patient selection, biomarkers to guide therapy and predict response, and identification of agents to use in combination with PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors.

Two types of effective treatments for non-Hodgkin lymphoma are cell signaling inhibitors and monoclonal antibodies.

Returning to the mechanics of transplant, Kevin gives some details of the six-month milestone, but is unable to refrain from a bit of hopeful philosophy.
