Popis Background/Aim: Classic Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL) is a common B-cell malignancy. Despite the good prognosis, in some patients the standard chemotherapy and radiotherapy-based approach does not lead to long-term remission, and these patients eventually relapse. Moreover, the primary refractory disease is of major concern regarding prognosis. Patients and Methods: We performed a retrospective analysis to evaluate PD-L1 expression in 120 patients with classic Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL). Results: The median follow-up of the entire group of patients was 90 months. After initial therapy, complete remission was achieved in 113 (94.2%) patients. During the follow-up, cHL relapse/refractory disease was reported in 23 (19.2%) cases. A total of five patients died during the follow-up period, all from cHL progression. When determining PD-L1 expression on Hodgkin-Reed-Sternberg (HRS) cells, 37 cases (30.8%) were evaluated as negative, and 83 cases (69.2%) as positive. In the negative PD-L1 group of patients, no cHL relapse/refractory disease was observed during the follow -up period. However, out of 83 patients with positive PD-L1 expression on HRS cells, 23 (28%) showed relapse/refractory cHL. Conclusion: A significantly higher relapse rate was observed in PD-L1-positive patients diagnosed with cHL.
