PROGNOSIS

[[image:Cancer.jpg]]
===Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma has a lower survival rate because it spreads to the body more quickly. Age, stage of cancer, and general heath are factors that doctors use to determine the prognosis. It helps to be below sixty years old, in good health (other than the cancer) and have an early stage of lymphoma (1 or 2). 75 percent of people who are given a "low risk" prognosis survive for five years or more. Only 30 percent of people determined to be "high risk" survive for that amount of time.===
