Symptoms and referral
Lymphoma often presents with painless lymph node swelling, fever, night sweats or weight loss. Some subtypes cause abdominal, skin or chest symptoms. Persistent or enlarging nodes should be evaluated rather than watched indefinitely.

Treatment pathway
Treatment is subtype-specific. Aggressive lymphomas are treated promptly with chemoimmunotherapy, while indolent lymphomas may be monitored. Response is assessed with PET-CT and clinical review. Relapsed disease may be treated with salvage therapy, transplant or CAR-T.
- Subtype-specific chemoimmunotherapy
- PET-CT response assessment
- Autologous transplant for chemosensitive relapse
- CAR-T for selected relapsed B-cell lymphoma
- Survivorship and late-effect monitoring
