Next Steps
Follow-up
After completion of primary therapy for lymphoma, all appropriate tests will be repeated to see how well the therapy worked.
- The results of these tests will tell the
oncologist whether the patient is in remission.
- If the patient is in remission, the oncologist
will recommend a schedule of regular testing and follow-up visits to
monitor the remission and to catch any recurrence early.
- Keeping up with these visits and tests is very important in order to avoid advanced or widespread disease.
