Types of Treatments for Hodgkin Lymphoma
A team of oncologists and other specialists work with each patient to create individualized, effective treatment strategies. In designing a care plan to treat Hodgkin lymphoma, they assess the stage of the disease, the size of the tumor or tumors, what symptoms you’re experiencing, and whether it is aggressive or slow-growing.
There are more treatment options than ever before for people with lymphoma, including chemotherapy alone or a combination of radiation and chemotherapy.
Our multidisciplinary teams specialize in treating lymphoma and offer comprehensive, state-of-the-art treatment programs, including:
- Blood and marrow transplants or stem cell transplants
- Chemotherapy
- Radiation therapy
- Immunotherapy (including monoclonal antibodies)
- Clinical trials
Other than undergoing a biopsy and staging, surgery is rarely used to treat Hodgkin lymphoma, the American Cancer Society reports. Palliative or supportive care is often included to treat low blood cell counts, infections and other complications that lymphoma symptoms can cause.
