In the US, chemotherapy for Children with Lymphoma (cancer of the lymphatic system) is ruled by a judge as mandatory. How many survive? What are the statistics?
Best Answer: Lymphoma is the general name, but there are many sub types of it. It can be Hodgkin's or Non-Hodgkin's (and there are a dozen or so different types of Non-Hodgkin's lymphomas). It therefore depends on the exact type of lymphoma you are referring to - and naturally it depends on how advanced the lymphoma is when it is detected.Survival rates for lymphoma are pretty high - normally around 80%However, most lymphomas have a high chance of recurrence.All the very best

In the case I assume you’re refering to, that of Daniel Hauser, he has a 90% chance of being cured with chemo. And 0% chance of being cured with the woo that insane cult persuaded his family was the way to go

Lymphoma is highly treatable with chemo, radiation, etc. and always fatal without.
