Lymphoma treatment by Dr. Pushkal Dwivedi, Bilaspur

What is Lymphoma?

Lymphoma is a cancer of the lymphatic system — a network of vessels, nodes, and organs that help the body fight infection. It begins in lymphocytes (a type of white blood cell) and can develop in lymph nodes, spleen, bone marrow, or other organs.

Lymphomas are broadly classified into two main types — Hodgkin lymphoma and Non-Hodgkin lymphoma — each with different subtypes, behaviour, and treatment approaches.

Lymphoma is diagnosed and treated using modern protocols, molecular testing, and personalised care — with a strong focus on safety, precision and patient comfort.

Hodgkin
Reed-Sternberg cells
Non-Hodgkin
Many subtypes
Indolent
Slow-growing
Aggressive
Fast-growing

Types of Lymphoma

Main categories of lymphoma

Hodgkin Lymphoma

Characterised by Reed-Sternberg cells; highly treatable, especially when detected early.

Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma

A large group of lymphomas with many subtypes — includes B-cell, T-cell, and NK-cell lymphomas.

B-Cell Lymphomas

Most common subtype — includes DLBCL, follicular lymphoma, and CLL/SLL.

T-Cell Lymphomas

Less common; includes peripheral T-cell lymphoma and cutaneous T-cell lymphoma.

Indolent Lymphoma

Slow-growing; often monitored or treated long-term.

Aggressive Lymphoma

Fast-growing; needs prompt treatment but often responds well.

Common Symptoms

  • Painless swollen lymph nodes
  • Unexplained fever
  • Night sweats

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about lymphoma

Hodgkin lymphoma is identified by the presence of Reed-Sternberg cells and usually spreads in a predictable pattern. Non-Hodgkin lymphoma includes many different subtypes with varied behaviour and treatment.

Many lymphomas are highly treatable, and some — like Hodgkin lymphoma and DLBCL — are curable with modern therapy. Outcomes depend on the subtype, stage, and response to treatment.

Diagnosis involves lymph node biopsy, immunohistochemistry, and imaging (CT, PET-CT). Molecular testing may be needed for certain subtypes.

No. Some indolent lymphomas are monitored initially or treated with targeted therapy. Aggressive lymphomas usually need chemotherapy-based regimens, often combined with immunotherapy.
