Types of Lymphoma

Lymphoma affects the body’s lymphatic system, which is why the most obvious symptom is swollen lymph nodes — in the neck, underarms, groin, etc.

  • Hodgkin lymphoma (lymphogranulomatosis, malignant granuloma): This type occurs more frequently in men and responds well to therapy. The presence of specific cells in a biopsy sample is the key diagnostic criterion for Hodgkin lymphoma in Israel. If Hodgkin lymphoma treatment in Israel leads to no recurrence within 5 years, the patient is considered completely cured.

Non-Hodgkin lymphoma: This term includes all other types of lymphoma except Hodgkin’s. The disease may affect one lymph node or organ and then spread. It can range from forms that require no treatment to aggressive, life-threatening variants. In general, the survival rate for non Hodgkin lymphoma in Israel is around 70%.

Symptoms and Causes

Doctors worldwide can only name approximate causes of various types of lymphoma.

These include:

  • Certain infections and viruses (Epstein-Barr virus, Helicobacter pylori, hepatitis viruses, herpes, etc.)

  • Genetic predisposition

  • Autoimmune diseases

  • Environmental exposure

Features of Lymphoma Treatment in Israel

At the Tel Aviv Sourasky Medical Center, a full range of cutting-edge therapies is available for all types of lymphoma, including:

Chemotherapy

Chemotherapy remains the backbone of non Hodgkin lymphoma treatment in Israel and Hodgkin lymphoma treatment in Israel. Only reliable and effective drugs are used, with constant monitoring of progress via PET-CT scans after initial sessions to assess the effectiveness of therapy.

Advanced Medications

Israeli specialists offer access to the latest medications — including targeted therapies that attack only cancerous cells and immunotherapy drugs that activate the body’s immune response.

Bone Marrow Transplantation

The transplant may involve the patient’s own bone marrow or a donor’s. If a donor is needed, physicians carry out thorough compatibility testing. In Ichilov, this procedure is conducted under sterile conditions with HEPA filters ensuring air purity in isolated rooms — critical for immune-compromised patients.

Radiotherapy

Radiation therapy is administered using the most modern technologies, precisely targeting tumor tissue while minimizing exposure to healthy areas. The intensity and duration of sessions are tailored to each individual case.

Prognosis

With timely diagnosis and a personalized treatment plan at Ichilov, survival rates for patients with lymphoma in Israel — both Hodgkin and non-Hodgkin — reach up to 80%.
