Small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) is a non-Hodgkin lymphoma affecting the B-lymphocytes of the immune system. SLL has many similarities to a type of leukaemia called chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) which also affects the B-cells, primarily in the blood and bone marrow, with lymph node involvement also possible.

DLBCL can develop in lymph nodes deep inside your body where they can't be felt from the outside. It is quite common for people with DLBCL to have lymphoma in extranodal sites or areas outside the lymph node. Large lumps can form, this is known as bulky disease.

The main types of treatment for non-Hodgkin lymphoma are: 1.Chemotherapy 2.Immunotherapy  3.Targeted therapy 4.Radiation therapy
