How is Lymphoma Diagnosed?
The diagnosis of malignant lymphoma may involve several techniques and several individuals. When a diagnosis of lymphoma is suspected, the primary doctor or cancer specialist will do several blood tests, a thorough physical examination (including manual examination of lymph node sites) and possibly, depending on his or her suspicion of the type of lymphoma, a biopsy (removal and examination) of bone marrow.
