Cancer guide

Lymphoma

A large family of blood cancers — exact subtype changes everything, and many indolent lymphomas are watched rather than treated right away.

What to know first

  • Dozens of subtypes with very different treatment paths.
  • 'B symptoms' — drenching sweats, fevers, weight loss — matter for staging.
  • Watch-and-wait is standard care for many indolent (slow-growing) subtypes.

When to see a doctor

  • A painless swollen lymph node that lasts more than 2–4 weeks
  • Drenching night sweats that soak sheets
  • Unexplained fevers or weight loss
