Childhood Lymphomas: Resources

This is the root of this site - to gather and point to resources throughout the Internet on lymphoma and present them to the reader in an understandable format. If you know of additional resources not listed please write.

Comprehensive information on childhood lymphoma is spread throughout the Internet. The best resource (currently) is the US government National Cancer Institute (NCI). Their Cancernet information sheets are updated monthly. NCI sponsors clinical trials and provides information on cancer care and support.

Cancernet Information


It is recommended to start with the patient information. As you become more familiar with the condition, you may want to view the physician information also.

Lymphomas associated with AIDS have different types of treatment. NCI has information on AIDS related lymphoma.

NCI can also be contacted via telephone at +1 (800)4-CANCER. See their web site for fax or other contact information.
