ABSTRACT

The staging of Hodgkin lymphoma lays the groundwork for optimal treatment decision making. For a long time, bone marrow assessment has been an integral part of staging. The study of bone marrow involvement in tumor progression includes radiological method and morphological analysis of its core biopsy samples. During the last five decades of using bone marrow core biopsy, the attitude of oncologists and hematologists to this invasive and painful procedure remained ambivalent between denying and affirming the need to carry it out in all or most Hodgkin lymphoma cases. The present review provides the historical background of bone marrow core biopsy and considers its appropriateness for patients with classical Hodgkin lymphoma.

Keywords: Hodgkin lymphoma, bone marrow, core biopsy.
