Non-Hodgkin lymphoma is one of the diseases that impact lymphatic system and can lead to several serious health problems. The lymphatic system is the main defensive system of the body against infections. If treatment is delayed or not done properly, the disease may not only progress but also affect various organs of the body.

Non-Hodgkin lymphoma is classified based on how fast the cancer grows and how widely it has spread.
Based on the growth pattern
Based on staging
Treatment for non-Hodgkin lymphoma is planned based on the type of lymphoma, stage of disease, age, and overall health of the patient. One or more treatment methods may be used.
The cost of treatment can vary depending on the stage, duration, and type of therapy required.
| Type of Treatment | Estimated Cost |
| Chemotherapy | INR 50,000 to INR 1,50,000 per cycle |
| Immunotherapy | INR 1,00,000 to INR 3,00,000 per cycle |
| Targeted therapy | INR 1,00,000 to INR 3,00,000 per cycle |
| Radiation therapy | INR 2,00,000 to INR 5,00,000 |
| Stem cell transplant | INR 8,00,000 to INR 20,00,000 |
Exact costs are determined after clinical evaluation and treatment planning.
If treatment is delayed or avoided, non-Hodgkin lymphoma can cause severe complications.
While not all cases can be prevented, certain steps may reduce risk.
For accurate detection of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, a detailed physical examination is required. The doctor evaluates swollen lymph nodes, checks for organ enlargement, and reviews the complete medical history, including symptoms such as fever, weight loss, and night sweats. The following tests may also be advised:
Before starting treatment, the patient is guided carefully to prepare their body and mind.
Proper after-treatment care supports recovery, reduces side effects, and helps prevent complications.
Recovery depends on the type and intensity of treatment administered. Patients receiving chemotherapy or immunotherapy may require several weeks to months for full recovery. Fatigue may persist for some time, but most patients can gradually return to daily activities with proper medical guidance.
With structured care and emotional support, many patients lead fulfilling lives after treatment.
Blood tests may show abnormal blood cell counts, but a biopsy is required for confirmation.
Non-Hodgkin lymphoma is one of the more common blood cancers worldwide, affecting millions of people globally.
It is usually influenced by environmental factors and immune system issues rather than direct inheritance.
The final stage is Stage IV, where the disease spreads to organs beyond the lymph nodes.
Common signs include painless lymph node swelling, fever, night sweats, unexplained weight loss, and fatigue.
The disease is classified into four stages, from Stage I to Stage IV, based on the extent of spread.
