Whether you've already been diagnosed with cancer and just want a second opinion, or you suspect something isn't right – we're one of the world's leading cancer centers when it comes to treating all forms of cancer. We're also a nationally known leading multiple myeloma treatment center.
We treat all 60 varieties of lymphoma
Non-Hodgkin lymphoma develops in the lymphatic system from cells called lymphocytes, white blood cells that battle infections. This kind of cancer develops in places like the lymph nodes, bone marrow, and the spleen, thymus or digestive tract. Between 60,000 and 70,000 people per year get one of more than 60 different types of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, of which diffuse large B cell is the most common.
At Nebraska Medicine, we have an expert team that can diagnose and treat all of them. Patients come to us seeking the advanced treatments, second opinions and leading edge clinical trials offered here.
Hodgkin Lymphoma
Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) impacts on average 9,000 people each year, and is most commonly primarily those in their mid to late 20s or elderly. About half the cases are related to Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). Family history may play a role along with patients who have HIV/AIDS. There are two main types; classical and nodular lymphocyte-predominant.
Types of leukemia we treat
The leukemia team treats all forms of leukemia, myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and more. In addition, the team commonly treats patients with bone marrow failure problems, such as aplastic anemia, large granular lymphocyte leukemia, and pure red cell aplasia as well as myeloproliferative neoplasms.
