Thanks for your advice. In fact all diagnoses are complete. Active B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma. My immunohistochemistry report is the immunohistochemistry results
CD20: Positive, expansive and powerful.
PAX 5: Positive, diffuse and strong.
CD 3: Negative
CD 10: Positive
BCL 6: Negative
MUM 1: Negative
What 67: 50%
Comment:
Immunohistochemistry staining supports diffuse large B cell lymphoma, activated B cell type.)

Treatment and surgery were performed by ENT surgeons. He gave me a list of few doctors and asked me to select from it. The list includes radiology oncologists, clinical oncologists, hematologists, all of whom can provide chemotherapy. Is it really true? What kind of specialist do I need?

Hi @babu123 It is true that all of the doctors you mentioned can order chemotherapy. But because of your diagnosis with B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma the specialist you should choose is a hematologist oncologist. A hematologist oncologist is a doctor who specializes in treating cancers of the blood. They have extra training in the blood system, lymphatic system, bone marrow, and cancers.

Is there a doctor on your list that states they are a hematologist oncologist?
