Understanding Lymphoma and Our Commitment to Your Care
Lymphoma is a complex cancer of the lymphatic system—an important part of the immune system. At Alaska Oncology and Hematology, our experienced team provides individualized treatment for both Hodgkin lymphoma and non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL).
We combine advanced therapies with compassionate, patient-centered care to craft treatment plans that address your specific diagnosis, overall health, and personal needs.
Our Comprehensive Treatment Services
Our multidisciplinary team, including hematologists, oncologists, advanced practitioners, and support specialists, employs a wide range of evidence-based lymphoma treatments:
Che
Chemotherapy remains foundational, often combined with immunotherapy.
- For example, the standard R-CHOP regimen (rituximab + chemotherapy) is widely used in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and other B-cell lymphomas
Monoclonal Antibodies (Immunotherapy)
Rituximab, obinutuzumab, and brentuximab vedotin are well-established treatments.
- Rituximab and obinutuzumab target CD20-positive lymphomas
- Brentuximab vedotin targets CD30 in Hodgkin lymphoma and some non-Hodgkin lymphoma variants.
These remain cornerstone therapies
Targeted Therapy
Drugs like ibrutinib, idelalisib, and venetoclax target specific molecular pathways.
- Ibrutinib (BTK inhibitor) is effective in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and mantle cell lymphoma (MCL)
- Venetoclax (BCL-2 inhibitor) is used in CLL and some non-Hodgkin lymphomas
These are modern and widely used targeted agents.
Bispecific Antibodies
- A rapidly expanding class, bispecific antibodies (bsAbs), direct immune cells to cancer cells with dual targeting
- Epcoritamab (Epkinly): approved in 2023 for relapsed/refractory DLBCL and high-grade B-cell lymphoma; expanded to follicular lymphoma in 2024
- Mosunetuzumab (Lunsumio), Glofitamab (Columvi), and others (e.g., Talquetamab) are also FDA-approved for relapsed or refractory lymphomas
Patient Support Services
Lymphoma treatment affects both physical and emotional health. At our clinic, we assist with symptom and side-effect management (e.g., fatigue, pain, infections).
