APPLIED RADIOLOGICAL ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Chemotherapy or radiation alone would probably not cure the lymphoma, but both treatments together usually do. Radiation therapy can also be used by itself to treat some cases of nodular lymphocyte-predominant Hodgkin lymphoma (NHLPL). Radiation therapy is often very good at killing HL cells.

Detailed explanation-2: -Radiotherapy is a common treatment for Hodgkin lymphoma. It uses high energy rays similar to x-rays to kill cancer cells. You have the treatment from an external radiotherapy machine.

Detailed explanation-3: -High-grade lymphomas that are at an early stage are often treated with chemotherapy and then radiotherapy. High-grade lymphomas that are at a more advanced stage are usually treated with chemotherapy. You might also have some radiotherapy after finishing your chemotherapy.

Detailed explanation-4: -Sometimes doctors prescribe chemotherapy at the same time as radiotherapy. This is called chemoradiotherapy or chemoradiation. It can make the radiotherapy more effective, but can also increase side effects.
