Lymphoblastic lymphoma is a type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) that is more common in children and young adults. It is fast growing and so needs to be treated as soon as it is diagnosed.
The main treatment is chemotherapy. This involves using a combination of chemotherapy drugs, which are given as courses over several months.
Radiotherapy may also be given. And, sometimes a bone marrow or stem cell transplant is needed.
You can read more about lymphoblastic lymphoma in the non-Hodgkin lymphoma section of our website.
