The five-year survival rate tells you the percentage of people who are still alive 5 years after being diagnosed with lymphoma, compared to people in the general population. While many people consider five-year survival to be equivalent to a cure, it's important to note that cancer cells could potentially remain undetected after treatment and the cancer could return.

The overall five-year survival rate for non-Hodgkin lymphoma is approximately 73%. However, individual survival rates vary significantly based on several factors:
• Age at diagnosis
• Stage of lymphoma
• Risk category
• Type of lymphoma
• Response to treatment It's important to remember that survival rates are based on past data and may not reflect newer, improved treatments that are available today. Your individual outlook depends on your specific prognostic factors, and you should discuss these with your healthcare team to better understand your personal situation.
