An observational study in Hodgkin's Lymphoma, sponsored by University Health Network, Toronto. Completed at 1 site in Canada. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2016-12-29.
Sponsored by University Health Network, Toronto · Observational
This research study is being done because patients with a history of chest radiation treatment for Hodgkin's disease have been shown to be at increased risk for developing lung cancer a number of years out from treatment. The risk appears to be further increased among patients with a smoking history. In this study, the CT scans will be read and interpreted by the study radiologist, and the results recorded in a consistent manner. Depending on the findings of the initial CT scan, we will then either repeat the scan in 1 year, or if indicated, send you for further scans or a biopsy. The information collected in this study will help researchers and clinicians in providing more concrete recommendations and screening guidelines for future survivors of Hodgkin's disease who have had similar exposures to radiation and/or chemotherapy and smoking.

Patients treated for Hodgkin's Lymphoma
Exclusion Criteria:
A chest CT uses special radiographic equipment using x-rays to capture images of the chest, and with the aid of a computer, processes the images to create cross-sectional pictures or "slices" of the areas of interest. The images can then be printed out or examined on a monitor. The CT scanner is a large unit with a hole running directly through its center, giving the appearance of a doughnut. During the scanning, patients will lie flat on their back on a table, and they are periodically asked to hold their breath. The table will first move through the scanner to determine the correct starting position. The rest of the scans are made as the table moves more slowly through the cavity in the scanner.
