10Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma Long-Term Outlook
The survival rates for non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma can vary, depending on how early the condition is diagnosed, the subtype you have, overall health, and your age. Individuals with slow growing cells may live longer. In some cases, non-Hodgkin may go undiagnosed until it progresses to the advanced stages. While aggressive types can often be treated, too late diagnosis may make it harder to treat. The complications could be life-threatening because treatment needs time to work. The 5-year survival rate by age for people with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma is as follow:
– Under 15: Around 92 percent
– 15 to 39: Around 85 percent
– 40 to 64: Around 80 percent
– 65 to 74: Around 75 percent
– Over 75: Around 55 percent [12]
