Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma Prevention
Doctors are not sure how to prevent non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. The best way for a person to lower his or her chance of getting non-Hodgkin's lymphoma is to stay away from as many risk factors as possible. People with known risk factors should talk to their doctor.

Can I Get Checked for Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma Befo...
Screening tests check for signs of disease in people who don't have any symptoms. Your doctor can check you for some types of cancer, even before you have symptoms. But there is no good way to screen for non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. If you have enlarged lymph nodes that are not caused by a common infection or that do not return to a normal size after a couple of weeks, your doctor may recommend a biopsy of a lymph node to check for lymphoma cells. Lymphoma can be in the body for months or years before a person shows any signs or symptoms of the disease. If you have any symptoms, see your doctor as soon as possible.
