What Is The Suggested Treatment For Lymphoma?
I am a 46 year old African American female, who was recently diagnosed with mycosis fungoides. Is there any truth that this type of lymphoma is more aggressive in African Americans and therefore warrants more aggressive treatment. If so which treatment would you recommend?
