COMPLEX ESTIMATION OF BRONCHOPULMONARY SYSTEM IN PATIENTS WITH HODGKINS LYMPHOMA

Abstract

One of the important problems with patients with Hodgkin's lymphoma is lung injury, caused both by a tumor effect and the influence of chemoradiotherapy. Before the treatment an obstructive lung function pattern connected with tumor substrate has been revealed in 38% of cases. After chemoradiotherapy the restrictive lung pattern was shown in 14% of the patients and mixed lung pattern was seen in 12% of the cases, which were caused by the development of pneumosclerosis and emphysema.
