Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma During Pregnancy - General Information

Note: A separate PDQ summary on Adult Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma Treatment is also available.

Since non-Hodgkin lymphomas (NHL) occur in an older patient population than Hodgkin lymphoma, this may account for fewer reports of NHL patients with coexisting pregnancy.[1]
