Hodgkin Lymphoma and Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma
Malignant Hematology
Malignant hematologists are doctors that diagnose and treat lymphatic system, bone marrow and blood cancers. They provide such treatments as chemotherapy, blood transfusion, immunotherapy and bone marrow transplants.
Radiation Oncology
UH Seidman Cancer Center utilizes the latest advances in radiation oncology to deliver precision radiation therapy to treat Hodgkin lymphoma and non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL)
Malignant Hematology
Malignant hematologists are doctors that diagnose and treat lymphatic system, bone marrow and blood cancers. They provide such treatments as chemotherapy, blood transfusion, immunotherapy and bone marrow transplants.
Radiation Oncology
Though rarely utilized as a primary treatment for CLL, radiation therapy may be given to CLL patients to shrink an enlarged spleen and swollen lymph nodes; relieve bone pain; and in preparation for stem cell transplant (total body irradiation).
CAR T-cell Therapy and Stem Cell Transplant for Lymphoma
Stem cell transplants may be recommended if a patient’s lymphoma does not respond to chemotherapy or if it returns. UH Seidman Cancer Center offers both autologous transplants, which use the patient’s own blood, and allogeneic transplants, which use cells from a donor.
CAR T-cell therapy takes white blood cells, called T-cells, from a patient’s blood and modifies them in a lab so that they recognize and kill lymphoma and other cancer cells.
