Lymphoma

The Lymphoma topic includes research on the causes, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of cancers that originate in cells of the lymphatic system.

The two main types of lymphoma are Hodgkin lymphoma and non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Hodgkin lymphoma can often be cured. Non-Hodgkin lymphoma is more common than Hodgkin lymphoma. The prognosis of non-Hodgkin lymphoma depends on the specific type. Lymphoma treatments include chemotherapy, radiation therapy, targeted therapy, cancer immunotherapy, biological therapy, and therapy to remove proteins from the blood.
