IMMUNOLOGY

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: -You might have a short course of chemotherapy and a targeted drug, followed by radiotherapy to the affected lymph nodes. A short course of treatment usually takes about 6 to 12 weeks.

Detailed explanation-3: -For more advanced lymphomas and for some lymphomas that are more aggressive, radiation is sometimes used along with chemotherapy. People who are getting a stem cell transplant may get radiation to the whole body along with high-dose chemotherapy, to try to kill lymphoma cells throughout the body.

Detailed explanation-4: -Usually these lymphomas present with stage I disease with rare perigastric nodal involvement. Radiation therapy is typically given at 1.5 Gy per fraction to a total dose of 30 Gy. The response rate is 95%, and the local failure rate is less than 10%.

Detailed explanation-5: -Chemotherapy (chemo) is the use of anti-cancer drugs that are usually injected into a vein (IV) or taken by mouth. These drugs enter the bloodstream and reach almost all areas of the body, making this treatment very useful for lymphoma.
