Non-hodgkin Lymphoma

Non-Hodgkin ́s lymphoma is very diverse and includes over 60 specific lymphoma types. They are grouped by their aggressiveness. Some of them grow and spread slowly, and are called indolent lymphomas. These lymphomas are less lifethreatening, but they are much harder to cure definitively. Other lymphomas tend to grow more rapidly and aggressively and spread quickly through the body. They can even infiltrate the bone marrow, in a process called leukemization. These are called aggressive lymphomas. They pose an immediate threat to the patient ́s life, but they are easier to cure with aggressive chemotherapy and targeted therapy. Finally, some lymphoma don ́t fit in either of the categories.
