## TL;DR

Led the GHSG for two decades, running the HD10 to HD18 trials that cure over 90% of Hodgkin lymphoma with less treatment.

## Summary

Andreas Engert chaired the German Hodgkin Study Group from 2007 to 2020, leading HD10 (two cycles of ABVD plus 20 Gy for early favourable disease), HD15 (six cycles of escalated BEACOPP with PET-guided radiotherapy omission) and HD18, which together defined modern risk- and PET-adapted Hodgkin lymphoma therapy with cure rates above 90%. He was president of the European Hematology Association.
