About Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma

Non-Hodgkin lymphoma is a group of cancers that begin in the lymphatic system. Common symptoms can include enlarged lymph nodes, fever, drenching night sweats, weight loss and fatigue. Correct subtype classification is essential because treatment can differ substantially between lymphomas.

  • Stage and response

Common signs and symptoms

  • Enlarged lymph nodes — Painless enlarged lymph nodes are a common presentation.
  • B symptoms — Fever, night sweats and weight loss can be clinically important.

How Is Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma Diagnosed?

Diagnosis usually requires lymph-node or tissue biopsy with detailed pathology and immunophenotyping. Blood tests, PET-CT and other imaging are commonly used for staging. Additional molecular tests may be needed for some subtypes.
