The role of liquid biopsy in the management of concurrent Hodgkin lymphoma and ovarian carcinoma treated with nivolumab.
Article in Discover oncology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
The simultaneous occurrence of Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) and ovarian carcinoma (OC) is rare and presents unique challenges in diagnosis and treatment. Circulating tumour DNA (ctDNA) offers a minimally invasive method for detecting minimal residual disease in both malignancies. We present the case of a 42-year-old woman with relapsed HL and advanced high-grade serous OC, treated with nivolumab, a PD-L1 inhibitor. After surgery and chemotherapy for OC, she received salvage therapy for cHL, including autologous stem cell transplantation. During the therapy, the patient was monitored using PET/CT and ctDNA analysis. CtDNA analysis detected a Hodgkin-driven compound mutation in the STAT6 gene (N417Y/N421S) allowing early relapse detection and treatment adjustments, detected progression of the disease led to nivolumab initiation. The mutation was used to monitor minimal residual disease (MRD). For ovarian carcinoma, presence of the BRAF V600E mutation as the marker was detected from archival paraffin-embedded ovarian tissue collected at the time of diagnosis, during ctDNA monitoring, BRAF V600E associated with OC remained undetectable, aligning with remission. This case highlights the potential of ctDNA to improve monitoring of concurrent malignancies, especially during immunotherapy, where PET/CT may lead to false-positive results. It is the first reported case of nivolumab treatment for chemo-refractory relapsed HL and OC, demonstrating the utility of ctDNA in managing dual malignancies.
