2. Radiotherapy
It is also one of the most used types of therapy for patients with lymphoma. High-energy rays are used to eliminate the cancer cells. In cases of stage one or two lymphoma, during which the cancer is only present in one or two areas of lymph nodes, radiotherapy is applied locally, while in the cases of later stages, the radiotherapy is usually combined with chemotherapy or administered following the chemotherapy. Similar to chemotherapy, radiotherapy may also be combined with biological therapy.
