How is non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL) treated?
The treatment of any lymphoma depends on its stage, which is how far the cancer has spread. In a very early stage, radiation may be the sole treatment. Combination chemotherapy is the most common treatment. There are many different regimens available. There’s also immunotherapy, which uses drugs monoclonal antibodies. In rare cases, a surgeon may take out a diseased spleen. In cases when treatment stops working, a doctor may suggest high-dose chemotherapy and stem cell transplantation, which is also called bone marrow transplant.
