J Clin Gastroenterol. 1989 Jun;11(3):340-2. doi: 10.1097/00004836-198906000-00020.

Abstract

We describe a 28-year-old man with stage IV-B Hodgkin's disease who developed an adenocarcinoma of the colon after treatment with combination chemotherapy. To the best of our knowledge, this patient is the youngest, and only the fourth person in the English-language literature to develop colonic carcinoma after combination chemotherapy of Hodgkin's disease without radiation.
