Types of Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma
There are more than 60 subtypes of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) according to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. The subtype of non-Hodgkin lymphoma impacts the treatments given and their timing. It’s important to know which subtype, or in some cases more than one subtype, of NHL has been identified.
The subtypes of non-Hodgkin lymphoma are based on which type of cell the lymphoma started in, how the lymphoma cells look, their genetic makeup, and whether there are proteins present on the surface of the cells.
