Outcomes in older adults with classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL) have traditionally been poor, in part related to poor tolerance to standard chemotherapy. Herein, we evaluated the survival of patients aged >60 years with cHL in British Columbia in a population-based analysis. From 1961 to 2019, 744 pa-tients with newly diagnosed cHL were identified. With a median follow-up of 9 years, 5-year disease specific (DSS) and overall survival (OS) have improved by decade comparison (both p<0.001), remain-ing stable in the past 20 years (DSS p=0.35; OS p=0.26). In the modern management era (2000-present), 361/401 patients (90%) received active therapy for cHL and had a 5-year OS of 60%. For those who received curative intent therapy (n=327), the 5-year progression-free survival (PFS), OS and DSS were 60%, 65%, and 76%, respectively and estimates were superior in those 60-69 y (72%, 77%, 83%) compared with those 70-79 y (54%, 57%, 70%) and >80 (28%, 39%, 63%) (p<0.05 for all). Overall, pul-monary toxicity occurred in 58/279 (21%) of bleomycin-treated patients, with 22/58 (38%) occurring after cycles 1 or 2, accounting for 8/20 (40%) of treatment-related deaths. Outcomes in older adults with cHL have improved in recent decades however, they remain poor for those >70 even in the mod-ern treatment era. Further, treatment-related toxicity remains a significant concern and use of bleo-mycin should be avoided in most patients.
