Hello. I'm Doctor Clayton Hess, founder of CureRays Radiation Medicine. Let me walk you through this page: Keep Lymphoma Away®.

Lymphoma is cancer of the immune system itself — and it is one of the real success stories of modern oncology. Even stage IV non-Hodgkin lymphoma has a 5-year relative survival around 64%, and Hodgkin lymphoma is among the most curable cancers that exist.

Here is what you'll find on this page.

Who is at risk. Most people with lymphoma have no identifiable risk factor at all.

Finding it early.

How it’s diagnosed. Lymphoma requires a proper biopsy — ideally the whole node removed (excisional biopsy) rather than a needle sample.

Staging explained simply.

Grading and biology. For lymphoma, the equivalent of grade is pace : indolent or aggressive.

How it’s treated.

Here is what you can do next.
