CT scan results- DOES THIS MEAN I HAVE LYMPHOMA?
The only way to diagnose lymphoma is through a biopsy. We prefer the excision or incision because the sample will always be adequate for interpretation by the pathologist. This way, you can also find out whether it's Hodgkin or Non-Hodgkin. There are several types of Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma. The treatment and prognosis are different for each type of lymphoma. Sometimes it's difficult to tell them apart. Immunostains will be very useful for cases like these. After the diagnosis is confirmed, you'll be advised on treatment options. Again, there are many options for each type of lymphoma. Yes, lymphoma can be cured. God bless!
