Lymphoma Program Highlights
While we continue to believe that the future of oncology lies in targeted, non-chemotherapy drugs. A healthy lifestyle and outlook is also very important. In this issue of Lymphoma Program Highlights we are pleased to include articles written by experts in psycho-social care and nutrition detailing how attention paid to these areas can positively affect outcomes.
