Immunochemo: Lymphoma is one of the more common blood cell malignancies along with leukemia. Most of t he tumors are solid such as lung, colon, breast, etc. First chemo proved very effective bringing overall survival of the B cell variant to over 50% cure with CHOPP. When anti CD20 antibodies- Rituxan (rituximab) became available the survival was over 90% and improving.

Eagle eye view only: If you have one, and been diagnosed specifically and with certainty, then an overview may not be helpful. There are about 60 types of lymphomas, and the treatment not only depends on the specific, highly defined, type but also on the stage, phenotype, biomarkers that are drug targets,locations such as in exposed areas etc. It is a very big word and check pathology outlines, plus book Cualing et al
