Objectives:Due to risk and response adapted treatment strategies, more than 80% of newly diagnosed classical Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) patients can be cured, and are expected to be long-term survivors. A remarkable number of HL survivors suffer from treatment related long-term side effects, such as secondary malignancy, organ failure, persistent fatigue and psychological distress. Purpose:The aim of this study was to evaluate the frequency of psychological distress and it‘s risk factors among HL survivorsin Hungary. Patients and methods:163 (88 female and 73 male) adult HL survivors were identified between 1st January 2012 and 31st March 2015 in our outpatient centre. The patients were asked and agreed to completestandardized, self-administeredquestionnaires: Hospital Anxiety and Depression scale (HADS14), General Health Questionnaire (GHQ12), Perceived Stress Scale (PSS4) and socio-demographic questions. Disease and treatment data were based on the hospital records. Results:The mean age at thetime of diagnosis was 32.16±12.97 years, at the completion of the survey was44.84±14.51 years. A total of 25% had caseness scores with HADS14. Anxiety caseness scores were high infemale patients (p=0.003), and were strongly associated with lack of employment (p=0.011) and treatment related long-term side effects (p=0.001). Depression caseness scoreswere increasedamong female patients (p=0.020), and were related to baseline comorbidities (p<0.001), lack of employment (p<0.001), higher ECOG scores at the time of diagnosis (p=0.036) and treatment related long-term side effects (p<0.001). 14.11% of HL survivors had abnormal levels of distress with GHQ12, which were significantly associated with baseline comorbidities (p=0.041), lack of employment (p<0.001), higher ECOG score at diagnosis (p=0.020) and treatment related long-term side effects (p=0.001). The PSS4 scale results were found significantly lower among employees (p<0.001), and in subjects without comorbidities (p=0,008) and with bulk tumor (p=0,026). There was a tight correlation between the questionnaires and the time of survey completion. Conclusions: Related to the literature and our own results, the majority of cured HL patients survive without distress at caseness level. Based on our experience HL survivors should be closely followed up by clinicians. If mental health disorder is suspected further psychologic or psychiatric treatment is strongly recommended.
