Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma Specialists at WVCI

A hematologist diagnoses most people with non-Hodgkin lymphoma. This is a doctor who specializes in blood disorders, including blood cancers. Hematologists are also trained as oncologists, meaning they are cancer specialists who manage treatment and care. After a lymphoma diagnosis, a hematologic oncologist will discuss options with you and create a treatment plan that’s tailored to your specific subtype and stage of NHL.

Types of Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma

Non-Hodgkin lymphoma is classified into subtypes based on the type of lymphocyte affected and how fast it is likely to grow. It may also be categorized based on its genetic makeup, appearance under a microscope, and whether the cells contain certain proteins on their surface.

The two most common types of NHL are diffuse large B-cell lymphoma and follicular lymphoma. Your specific subtype will impact your treatment plan.  

About NHL Types

Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma Treatment Options

Treatment options and the timing of those treatments vary for each patient based on the NHL subtype, stage, how quickly it is growing, the patient’s age, and overall health. Most treatments for lymphoma are systemic, such as chemotherapy and biologic therapies, including CAR-T.

Stages of Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma

After a non-Hodgkin lymphoma diagnosis is confirmed, your hematologic oncologist will evaluate the extent (spread) of lymphoma in a process known as staging. Several tests will be needed to determine the stage and the most effective treatment plan for you.
