Hypofractionated Radiation Therapy for the Treatment of Relapsed or Refractory Hodgkin or Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma

Trial Status: closed to accrual

This phase I trial tests the best dose of hypofractionated radiation therapy in treating patients with Hodgkin or non-Hodgkin lymphoma that has come back (relapsed) or does not respond to treatment (refractory). Typically, radiation consists of 25-28 daily treatments of external beam radiation therapy. Researchers would like to see if a shorter radiation course (i.e., hypofractionation) for pelvic radiation is safe for Hodgkin and non-Hodgkin lymphoma. A shortened radiation course means that the daily treatment dose delivered is slightly higher than normal. This higher daily dose would be delivered because researchers would like to see if the radiation is as safe given over a shorter number of days compared to the 25-28 days. The purpose of this study is to make sure that hypofractionation is safe and effective for relapsed or refractory Hodgkin or non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
