Tell us more??: Why do you suspect Hodgkin disease? Go to your doctor and he/she can check you and see if your lymph nodes are enlarged....then a biopsy of the node may be indicated. That is how we make the diagnosis of Hodgkin disease.

Lymph node biopsy: Hi. Hodgkin's disease (HD) is usually confirmed or excluded on the basis of a lymph node biopsy. If HD is confirmed, further tests will be done for staging, which helps determine treatment and prognosis. Many cases of HD are curable. Good luck!
