A member asked:
Can you die from untreated lymphoma in just 2 years time?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The natural history: of lymphoma varies widely according to its type and aggressiveness. At one extreme, a lymphoblastic lymphoma may visibly enlarge on a daily basis and, left untreated, will be fatal in days to weeks. At the other extreme, an indolent follicular or small cell lymphoma, may grow slowly for 5 years or more. Other types fall between these two extremes.
