Description

The treatment of non-Hodgkin lymphomas (NHL) is discussed. The use of radiotherapy, chemotherapy or both in a combined therapy is studied considering several aspects as age of the patients (adults vs children), size and extension of the lymphoma, stage of the disease. It is mentioned that more advanced cases and those with more aggressive histology need combined modality treatments or even just chemotherapy. (M.A.C.)
