Non-Hodgkin lymphoma care at Mayo Clinic

Collaborative care

At Mayo Clinic, we bring together teams of specialists dedicated to collaborating so that you receive accurate diagnoses and treatments the first time.

Your Mayo Clinic care team

Mayo Clinic specialists provide expert, personalized care to those with non-Hodgkin lymphoma, including very rare types of the disease. Specialists work with the Mayo Clinic Comprehensive Cancer Center to find the best treatments for you.

Your care team might include:

If you have other health conditions that could be affected by cancer treatment, your team may include other specialists. Your team works together to provide exactly the care you need.

Advanced diagnosis and treatment

Mayo Clinic pathologists who specialize in diseases of the blood (hematopathologists) are experienced in accurately diagnosing and staging all the subtypes of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, including very rare ones. Some types can be distinguished from each other only by advanced laboratory testing. Research shows that expert review by pathologists experienced with lymphoma is key to developing an appropriate treatment plan.

Mayo Clinic laboratories are equipped with the advanced technology doctors need to carefully analyze the DNA changes in your cancer cells to help choose the most appropriate treatment for you. Mayo Clinic offers genomic diagnostic testing to analyze the genes of lymphoma cells to determine your precise type.

Mayo Clinic doctors work with you to review all your treatment options and to choose the treatment that best suits your needs and goals. Treatments offered to people with non-Hodgkin lymphoma include chemotherapy, radiation therapy, immunotherapy, targeted therapy and bone marrow transplant.

Mayo Clinic offers chimeric antigen receptor T cell therapy, also called CAR-T cell therapy, for people with certain types of B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma. This treatment, offered through the CAR-T Cell Therapy Program, is an individualized cell-based regenerative medicine technique that involves genetically changing a subset of a person's white blood cells called T cells into CAR-T cells. The altered cells are reinfused into the body, where they activate the immune system to target cancer cells.

And because Mayo Clinic is a leader in lymphoma research, you also may have access to the latest treatments by way of clinical research studies, also called clinical trials.

In addition, Mayo Clinic lymphoma specialists hold regular multidisciplinary meetings to discuss treatment options. These specialists form the tumor board. The meetings include radiation oncologists, hematologists and others from Mayo Clinic campuses in Jacksonville, Florida, Scottsdale, Arizona, and Rochester, Minnesota. So no matter which Mayo Clinic campus you go to for your care, you benefit from the collective expertise of the lymphoma team.

Survivorship clinics for follow-up care

Mayo Clinic offers services for people who have completed non-Hodgkin lymphoma treatment through cancer survivorship clinics. Follow-up medical care is important for every person who is treated for non-Hodgkin lymphoma. The survivorship clinic offers evaluation for physical and psychological side effects, as well as provides plans for follow-up care and healthy living after cancer treatment. Sometimes follow-up care involves blood tests or bone marrow tests.
