Prognosis for non-Hodgkin's lymphoma depends of its stage, type and if it is a slow growing or fast growing cancer.
When lymphoma comes back after chemotreatment, it is less likely to be curable.
If non-Hodgkin lymphoma relapses, a type of radiation therapy called radioimmunotherapy is an option or it can be continued with more intensive chemotherapy.
