What would treatment look like for a teenager experiencing non-hodgkin's lymphoma, stage i or ii?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends on type: Not common but not different than for adult, i think: if indolent- surgery and possibly radiation then watchful waiting (maybe with bone marrow harvest for later use) if more aggressive, would use biochemotherapy (i.e.: "r-chop") after surgery. May also include radiation and marrow harvest.
