There are several lymphoma drugs used repeatedly against various subtypes of lymphoma. The lymphoma drugs include chemotherapeutics, immunotherapeutics and radioimmunotherapeutics, and they are used as single agents as well as in combination chemotherapy regimens, depending on the subtype and on the specifics of the disease. Some of the most well-known or commonly used lymphoma drugs in the treatment of either Hodgkin's or non-Hodgkin's lymphomas are as follows, listed in alphabetical order:

Adcetris (previously known as SGN-35 and not yet FDA approved)
Arranon (nelarabine)
Bexxar
Bleomycin
Bortezomib
Chlorambucil
Cyclophosphamide
Dacarbazine
Doxorubicin
Etoposide
Folotyn (pralatrexate)
Ifosfamide
Istodax (romidepsin)
Mitoxantrone
Pixurvi
Prednisone
Procarbazine
Rituxan
Treanda (bendamustine)
Vinblastine
Vincristine
Vorinostat
Zevalin

Again, many of these lymphoma drugs are combined into regimens to treat a variety of subtypes of HL and NHL, and in the case of Zevalin and Bexxar, these are therapeutic regimens featuring at least two active agents.
