Additional Information

Report Excerpt

Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL) refers to a type of cancer that originates in the lymphatic system, including the lymph nodes, spleen, and other organs of the immune system. Most non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas develop from a type of white blood cell called B lymphocytes, or B cells. NHLs are estimated to be the 6th most common type of cancer in the United States.

Radiation therapy may be used for disease that is confined to one body area, and radioimmunotherapy may be used in some cases. Chemotherapy is commonly used as the main form of treatment. Most often, multiple different drugs are used in combination. People with lymphoma that returns after treatment or does not respond to treatment may receive high-dose chemotherapy followed by an autologous bone marrow transplant.
