Lymphoma

or more than 20 years we have been committed to people with lymphomas for whom there is currently only limited treatment options. Today, we continue to invest in the development of innovative therapies that meet the individual needs of each individual patient and each individual patient and enable them to achieve the best possible results after a lymphoma diagnosis.

Lymphomas are a type of blood cancer that attacks the lymphocytes. Lymphocytes are white blood cells that are crucial for fighting infection in the body. The most common form of lymphoma is non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL), which occurs in 4 out of 5 patients. Non-Hodgkin lymphoma can occur in men and women of all ages, but is usually diagnosed in men and in people aged 65-74 years. Non-Hodgkin lymphomas can be classified as aggressive (fast) and indolent (slow)-growing lymphomas. The most common form of fast-growing lymphoma is diffuse large-cell B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). The most common variant of slow-growing lymphoma is follicular lymphoma. Slowly growing lymphomas often show few symptoms and can therefore spread unnoticed in the body. Possible symptoms of DLBCL are painless swelling in the throat, armpit or groin due to enlarged lymph nodes, fever, night sweats and unexplained weight loss.
