Hodgkin’s lymphoma, formerly known as Hodgkin’s disease, is a cancer of the lymphatic system, which is part of your immune system.
Which Hodgkin’s lymphoma treatments are right for you depends on the type and stage of your disease, your overall health, and your preferences.
The main form of treatment is chemotherapy alone or chemotherapy, followed by radiotherapy. In a few cases, chemotherapy may be coupled with steroid medication. Surgery isn’t commonly used to treat the condition, except for the biopsy used to diagnose it.
Hodgkin’s lymphoma is very treatable, especially in its early stages. The one-year survival and five-year survival rate for all patients diagnosed with this cancer is about 92 per cent and 86 per cent. The cost of this treatment starts from around USD 17,918 in India.
