The following tests can be used to confirm a diagnosis of lymphoma: 

• Doctors begin by reviewing the patient's full medical history and conducting a physical exam, often checking for swollen lymph nodes, fatigue, or other unexplained symptoms.

• Lymphoma can be difficult to diagnose at first, as its symptoms, like night sweats, fatigue, or weight loss. These can be mistaken for other conditions. If lymphoma is suspected, a biopsy of a lymph node is usually required to confirm the diagnosis.

• Other common diagnostic tools include blood tests, imaging scans like CT or PET, and sometimes a bone marrow biopsy to see if the cancer has spread. These tests help determine the type of lymphoma and how advanced it is, which guides treatment decisions.

Treatments for lymphoma include:

• Chemotherapy: The most common treatment for lymphoma. It uses drugs that travel through the bloodstream to kill cancer cells throughout the body.

• Radiation Therapy: High-energy rays are used to target and kill lymphoma cells in specific areas.

• Immunotherapy: Helps the immune system recognize and fight cancer cells more effectively.

• ‍‍‍Targeted Therapy: Uses drugs that specifically attack lymphoma cells while sparing most normal cells.

• Stem Cell Transplant: Damaged bone marrow is replaced with healthy stem cells to allow the body to produce new, healthy blood cells.

• Active Surveillance: For some slow-growing lymphomas, treatment may not be needed right away. Instead, doctors closely monitor the disease until treatment is necessary.
