Lymphoma Treatments (click for worldwide facilities list): Lymphoma is a type of cancer that originates in lymphocytes of the immune system. They often originate in lymph nodes, presenting as an enlargement of the node (a tumor). Lymphoma can affect the spleen, thymus gland, and bone marrow, but can also involve almost any organ.
If lymphoma is suspected, a physical examination, diagnostic tests such as blood and urine tests, an imaging study, and a biopsy will be ordered. The tests can confirm a diagnosis of lymphoma and determine the subtype and stage of the disease.
Patients' treatment options depend upon the form of lymphoma that is diagnosed.
Types of lymphoma include:
Non-Hodgkin lymphoma: About 30 forms of non-Hodgkin lymphoma have been identified. About 95 percent of non-Hodgkin lymphomas are diagnosed in adults, and about 5 percent in children.
Some of the types of non-Hodgkin lymphoma are: diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and the related small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL), cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, which occurs in two main types, mycosis fungoides and Sezary lymphoma, , marginal zone lymphomas, peripheral T-cell lymphomas, mantle cell lymphoma, primary mediastinal B-cell lymphoma, Burkitt lymphoma, and lymphoplasmocytic lymphoma (which includes Waldenström macroglobulinemia).
Patients with an advanced stage of an aggressive form of non-Hodgkin lymphoma may be treated with a combination of chemotherapy and radiation therapy.
To treat other forms and stages of the disease, the treatment team may use radiation therapy, chemotherapy, or both. The team may choose immunotherapy (biologic or biotherapy), bone marrow or stem cell transplantation, or either field or total body radiation therapy.
Hodgkin lymphoma:
Hodgkin lymphoma is an uncommon cancer of the lymphatic system, which consists of lymph nodes (lymph glands) throughout the body
Advances in diagnosis, staging, and treatment of Hodgkin lymphoma have helped to make this once-fatal disease highly treatable with the potential for full recovery.
