About Lymphoma

On this Web site you will find valuable information about the different types of lymphoma - Hodgkin lymphoma and non-Hodgkin lymphoma, diagnostic techniques your health care practitioners may use, and treatment options. Here you can also learn about the latest research findings and get help searching for clinical trials that relate to your condition.

Attention Advocates: Urgent action needed!
Last week, the U.S. Senate failed to adopt a Medicare bill that would address a number of Medicare payment issues, including payment for radioimmunotherapies (RITs).
