Gemcitabine and vinorelbine as a salvage regimen for relapse in Hodgkin lymphoma after autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.

The authors describe two consecutive pediatric patients with relapsed Hodgkin lymphoma after autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation who had objective responses with a novel combination of gemcitabine and vinorelbine. This novel and promising combination needs to be studied in a larger number of relapsed Hodgkin disease patients.
