Low: The incidence of lymphoma (all of them) is on the order of 80-100k cases per year in the US. If one were to get a lymphoma it would likely be a DLBCL which are highly curable.

Depends Stage/type: Hodgkin's and non-hodgkin's lymphomas each have different types and them they are staged one to four. Early stages have upwards of 90 percent survival. Stage four however still has goods odds of survival as well. Unless the specific type/stage of lymphoma is known the exact odds differs. Overall chemotherapy/radiotherapy and immunotherapy has really advanced to increase the odds.
