Lymphoma Treatment Center
At University Hospitals Seidman Cancer Center, our lymphoma specialists treat cancers of the lymphatic system, which is part of the body’s immune system. Taking a very specialized approach to care, the lymphoma team cares for patients of all ages from diagnosis through treatment, recovery and survivorship. One clinical team directs and follows each patient’s care, while in the hospital or at home. We provide care for both Hodgkin lymphoma and non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
A Personalized Approach
Many times a primary care physician or ENT (ear, nose and throat) specialist detects symptoms, including the enlargement of the lymph nodes, anemia or fatigue, and refers patients to the lymphoma specialists at UH Seidman Cancer Center. Our team determines or confirms the exact type of lymphoma through imaging or biopsies and then develops a targeted care plan for each patient’s unique needs.
Our dedicated team includes physician specialists, nurse navigators and nurse practitioners, all specialized in lymphoma-specific diagnosis and treatment. The same team takes care of each patient through every step of treatment, including stem cell transplant if necessary. We take a multidisciplinary approach to care, working together and reviewing every case as part of the hematologic malignancy tumor board. Because our team is focused only on lymphoma treatment and management, we understand the concerns of patients and their families, and are available to answer any questions.
