World Lymphoma Awareness Day 2016

September is National Blood Cancer Awareness Month, and today is World Lymphoma Awareness Day. Organizations like the Lymphoma Research Foundation and The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society are doing great work raising awareness and funds that make the discoveries that underpin our treatment at Weill Cornell Lymphoma Program possible.

Our physicians would like to thank them, and all our wonderful patients, who inspire us daily!
