Causes of Lymphoma Treatment
Chemotherapy
Radiation Therapy
Immunotherapy
Targeted Therapy
Stem Cell (Bone Marrow) Transplant
CAR-T Cell Therapy
Description: The most common treatment for lymphoma. Chemotherapy uses powerful drugs to kill cancer cells or stop them from multiplying. It is usually given intravenously or orally in cycles.
Used For: Both Hodgkin and Non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
Description: This treatment uses high-energy rays to destroy cancer cells in a targeted area. It's especially effective in early-stage Hodgkin lymphoma or when lymphoma is localized.
Used For: Localized lymphomas or as a follow-up after chemotherapy.
Description: This treatment boosts the body’s immune system to recognize and destroy cancer cells. It may involve monoclonal antibodies like Rituximab that target specific proteins on lymphoma cells.
Used For: Non-Hodgkin lymphoma, especially B-cell types.
Description: Targeted drugs block specific molecules involved in lymphoma growth and spread. These are more precise than chemotherapy and often have fewer side effects.
Used For: Specific genetic subtypes of lymphoma.
Description: High-dose chemotherapy is followed by transplantation of healthy stem cells to restore bone marrow function. It can be autologous (self) or allogeneic (donor).
Used For: Relapsed or aggressive lymphomas.
Description: A cutting-edge treatment where a patient’s T-cells are genetically modified to attack lymphoma cells.
Used For: Certain aggressive or relapsed non-Hodgkin lymphomas.

After the Procedure
Lymphoma is a type of cancer that begins in the lymphatic system, which is part of the body's immune system.
The two main types are Hodgkin lymphoma and Non-Hodgkin lymphoma, each with several subtypes.
Many forms of lymphoma are highly treatable and even curable, especially when diagnosed early.
Common symptoms include swollen lymph nodes, fever, night sweats, unexplained weight loss, and fatigue.
Diagnosis is typically done through a biopsy, blood tests, imaging scans, and sometimes a bone marrow test.
Treatment options include chemotherapy, radiation therapy, immunotherapy, targeted therapy, and stem cell transplant.
The success rate varies based on type and stage but can exceed 80% for early-stage Hodgkin lymphoma.
Not always. Some cases may be treated with immunotherapy or targeted therapy depending on the subtype and stage.
Yes, side effects may include fatigue, nausea, infections, hair loss, and low blood counts depending on the treatment type.
Treatment duration varies from a few months to over a year, depending on the treatment plan and response.
Yes, lymphoma can relapse, but further treatments like stem cell transplants or CAR-T therapy may be effective.
Maintain a healthy diet, avoid infections, get adequate rest, and stay in regular contact with your healthcare provider.
No, lymphoma is not contagious. It cannot be transmitted from one person to another.
Yes, lymphoma can affect people of all ages, including children. Pediatric cases are treated differently from adult cases.
CAR-T cell therapy is a personalized treatment that modifies a patient’s T-cells to attack lymphoma cells.
The cost can range from ₹2,00,000 to ₹20,00,000 depending on the type of treatment and hospital.
Some people are able to work part-time or intermittently, but many need time off depending on the side effects.
You may need regular follow-up visits every 3 to 6 months for the first few years to monitor for recurrence.
Yes, some treatments like chemotherapy can affect fertility. Discuss preservation options with your doctor beforehand.
Some vaccines may be safe, but live vaccines are generally avoided during treatment. Always consult your oncologist first.
