I'm not sure what you mean.
I'm not sure what you mean. As in a person being diagnosed with both MCL and CLL? I'd be surprised if there were statistics out there for this kind of dx. I could see stats suggesting that there's an emerging subtype of B-cell lymphoma that is somewhere between MCL and CLL-- kind of-- but having both independently occurring at the same time?
I'm not sure if both are
I'm not sure if both are occurring independently, but the patient has been diagnosed with both. R CHOP has been offered for treatments but the first infusion of Rituxan was not tolerated. The doctor went ahead with CHOP a few days later and will try the Rituxan later. Most curious on what make be the long-term prognosis with both and what others feel is the best treatment direction for both.
What is the difference
What is the difference between Hodgkin and non-Hodgkin Lymphoma?
Howard- MCL and CLL and about
Howard-
MCL and CLL and about 40 other cancers are considered non-Hodgkin's lymphomas. The rest are Hodgkin's. The main difference is the shape of the cell in Hodgkin's, which has recognizable characteristics, as well as the fact that Hodgkin's disease spreads in an orderly manner, from neck to clavicle to chest etc, while NHLs have no such pattern.
It's better to think of lymphomas as being a diverse group of cancers that affect the B or T cell lymphocytes but otherwise don't have a lot in common.

Regarding MCL and CLL, the
Regarding MCL and CLL, the prognosis for MCL is in general considerably worse than the prognosis in CLL. CLL is indolent, but in some cases considered curable. MCL is poorly understood, has few established and reliable treatment options. Ordinarily the addition of rituximab would boost survival; without it, prognosis also goes down a bit.
