[Articles] The genomic and clinical consequences of replacing procarbazine with dacarbazine in escalated BEACOPP for Hodgkin lymphoma: a retrospective, observational study

Procarbazine induces a higher mutation burden and novel mutational signatures in patients with Hodgkin lymphoma treated with eBEACOPP and their germline DNA, raising concerns for the genomic health of survivors of Hodgkin lymphoma and hereditary consequences for their offspring. However, replacing procarbazine with dacarbazine appears to mitigate gonadal and stem-cell toxicity while maintaining similar clinical efficacy.
