Allogeneic SCT for relapsed/refractory HL patients (HL: Hodgkin’s Lymphoma; no.: number; DLIs: donor lymphocyte infusions; TRM: transplant-related mortality; DFS: disease-free survival; PFS: progression-free survival; GvL: graft versus lymphoma effect; FM(-A): fludarabine/melphalan (+alemtuzumab); MAC: myeloablative conditioning regimens; RIC: reduced intensity conditioning regimens; UD: unrelated donor; MRD: matched related donor; HD: haploidentical donor; NS: not stated).
