Core Tip
Core Tip: We report a 27-year-old man who complained of enlarged right-sided cervical lymph nodes and progressive pain aggravation of the right shoulder over the past 3 mo before admission. Histological analysis of lymph node biopsy was suggestive of classical Hodgkin’s lymphoma. The patient experienced failure of eight lines of therapy. Computed tomography showed that the tumors of the chest and abdomen significantly shrunk or disappeared after three cycles of treatment with low-dose decitabine plus tislelizumab. The patient had been followed for 11.5 mo until March 2, 2021, and no progressive enlargement of the tumor was observed.
