Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma is any of a large group of cancers of the immune system. Non-Hodgkin lymphomas can occur at any age and are often marked by enlarged lymph nodes, fever, and weight loss.

B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphomas include Burkitt lymphoma, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, follicular lymphoma, immunoblastic large cell lymphoma, precursor B-lymphoblastic lymphoma, and mantle cell lymphoma. T-cell non-Hodgkin lymphomas include mycosis fungoides, anaplastic large cell lymphoma, and precursor T-lymphoblastic lymphoma.

Prognosis and treatment depend on the stage and type of disease. Also called NHL.

Radiation therapy treatment planning

This slide show from the Mayo Clinic will guide you through the process of planning for radiation therapy. Before you begin external beam radiation treatment, your radiation therapy team carefully plans every aspect of your treatment in a process called radiation simulation.
