Lymphomas are a family of cancers that develop when immune-system cells called lymphocytes become cancerous (malignant). Lymphomas are divided into two general types: Hodgkin's disease and non-Hodgkin's lymphomas.
Memorial Sloan-Kettering specialists treat more than 450 lymphoma patients each year and see more than twice that number in consultation.
We also work continuously to improve the outcomes of lymphoma patients through clinical trials testing innovative new treatments as well as understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying these diseases.
