Many, depends: There are many treatment options for non-hodgkin's lymphoma (nhl). There are 40+ sub-types of nhl. While many have the same treatment, the treatment approach and treatment intent varies by lymphoma. If the nhl is cd20+ then the monoclonal antibody Rituximab can be used alone or in combination with standard (cytotoxic) chemotherapy. Other potential tx include radiation and clinical trials.

Most likely chemo: There are quite a few types of non-hodgkin lymphoma (nhl), and the majority of them require chemotherapy of some sort. There are a couple types, if they are very low stage (not spread anywhere else), that complete surgical resection alone could be curative. I am speaking from a pediatric perspective (adolescents and young adults with nhl). Elderly patients may be quite different.
