Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma - Surgery

Surgery is often used to obtain a biopsy sample when NHL is being diagnosed or classified. But surgery is used only rarely in the treatment of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

What to think about

Because of recent improvements in body scans (such as the CT scan, MRI, and PET scan), exploratory surgery is rarely used to stage NHL.
