Abstract
Second malignant tumors occurring in classical Hodgkin’s lymphoma (cHL) patients after treatment include mainly solid neoplasms and far more rarely acute myeloid leuke-mias (AML). At the same time, a relative risk of developing secondary AML substantially exceeds the risks of second (solid) tumors, and the efficacy of secondary AML treatment is considerably lower compared to the outcomes of primary AML treatment. All that implies the importance and relevance of this issue. The present literature review discusses the epidemiology of developing secondary AMLs in patents after cHL treatment. In addition to that, it focuses on modern drugs and technologies for effective treatment of secondary AMLs.
