8Treatment Options for Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma
Treatment options for non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma mainly depends on the stage of cancer, the subtype you have, and your age. Immediate treatment is not always necessary. Instead, treatments may start when the condition progresses. Some options include:
– Radiation therapy: use high-powered beams of energy to get rid of tumors and cancer cells.
– Chemotherapy: certain drugs can be injected or taken orally to eliminate cancer cells.
– Medications: to boost the immune system’s ability to detect and fight cancerous cells.
– Stem cell transplants: this process helps replace damaged cells with healthy cells after chemotherapy. [10]
