Screening for Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma

Screening is a way to evaluate people without symptoms to determine if they are at risk for cancer or have already developed cancer.

Screening Tests or Guidelines

There are no screening guidelines or screening tests for non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma.

Routine physical exams by your health care provider may identify enlarged lymph nodes, an early sign of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma.
