Question 1 of 5

A 47-year-old man presents with high fevers and weight loss for 2 months. On examination, he is found to have cervical, supraclavicular, axillary, and inguinal lymphadenopathy. Laboratory work-up shows a hemoglobin level of 11.5 g/dL, white blood cell (WBC) count of 16,000 cells/μL, and a serum albumin level of 3.3 g/dL. Excisional biopsy of an inguinal lymph node is consistent with classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL).

Which one of the following factors pertaining to this patient is not an adverse prognostic marker?

Age of 47 years

Albumin level of 3.3 g/dL

Hemoglobin of 11.5 g/dL

WBC count of 16,000 cell/μL

None of the above
