What are the different categories of lymphoma?

2 main categories: Lymphomas are generally classified as either hodgkin lymphoma (hl) or non-hodgkin lymphoma (nhl). There are many subtypes of nhl. Each type of lymphoma has a different treatment. For hl, see: http://www.Cancer.Gov/cancertopics/pdq/treatment/adulthodgkins/patient for nhl, see: http://www.Cancer.Gov/cancertopics/pdq/treatment/adult-non-hodgkins/patient.
