3. Surgery
The least common of the traditional lymphoma treatments is surgery. It is very rarely an option due to the proven efficacy of the previous options. It may be performed to remove a limited part of an organ affected by lymphoma, such as the stomach or small bowel, or to remove the spleen, a surgery called splenectomy – in cases of splenic marginal zone lymphoma, a rare type of the disease. In addition, biopsies are a common surgical procedure used to confirm the diagnosis.
