2 standard-of-care settings across 2 lines and 1 biomarker subgroup. Rows come from the cancer page's standard of care; the grid places each on its line and subgroup.

| All comers | Making the diagnosis, and the trap in it | The diagnosis needs a generous biopsy, because the appearance varies across a single tumour and a core needle may sample only the part that looks like one of the neighbouring diseases. Both 2022 classifications require involvement of the mediastinum: an identical-looking tumour elsewhere in the body is diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, not otherwise specified. A nodular sclerosis classic Hodgkin lymphoma with variable CD20 expression remains Hodgkin lymphoma and is not reclassified here. | WHO Classification of Haematolymphoid Tumours, 5th edition (2022), with the International Consensus Classification (2022) where they differ | 95 |
| Subgroup | Setting | Approach | Products and trials | Guideline | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| All comers | Treatment | Treated with regimens designed for aggressive large B-cell lymphoma and containing rituximab, rather than with Hodgkin lymphoma chemotherapy, because the tumour retains its B-cell programme and the surface target with it. Radiotherapy to the residual mediastinal mass is used in some series. There is no randomised trial in this entity, the published series number in the tens, and the regimen is chosen in a multidisciplinary meeting; the detail sits on the primary mediastinal B-cell lymphoma page and in the treatment layer of this family. | NCI PDQ: adult non-Hodgkin lymphoma treatment | 84 |
Lines and subgroups are parsed from the setting text of each standard-of-care row and can misclassify an unusual phrasing; the row’s own setting is always shown. Guideline chips reflect the NCCN category and ESMO-MCBS grade recorded on the cancer page, checked on its stated date. Not medical advice.
