    <abstract locale="en_US">Background: Despite multiple published studies reporting result of salvage regimens for relapsed and&#xA0;refractory Hodgkin&#x2019;s lymphoma, there are no comparisons of different combinations.
Patients and methods: A Total of 44 patients identified with refractory or relapsed Hodgkin&#x2019;s Lymphoma&#xA0;were considered eligible for this study. The Patients were randomly divided into two groups of 22, one of&#xA0;which were treated with GDP regimen (gemcitabine, dexamethasone and cisplatin) and the other with EHSAP&#xA0;regimen (etoposide, methyl prednisolone, cisplatin and cytarabine) in a prospective manner. The results of&#xA0;each group were compared.
Results: There were 27.3% complete response, 31.8% more than 50% response, and 40.9% no response&#xA0;with GDP. ESHAP results were 29.5%, 24% and 45.5%, respectively.&#xA0;
Conclusion: There is no significant difference in response rate between GDP and ESHAP regimens as salvage
chemotherapy in refractory or relapsed Hodgkin&#x2019;s Lymphoma.</abstract>
