Abstract: Lymphoma is a group of malignancies that affect lymphatic system of the body,and often originates from the abnormal cloned proliferation of B,T or NK cell lineage.It contains mainly two categories:Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) and non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL).The treatment options consist of chemotherapy,radiotherapy,immunotherapy and radioimmunotherapy,et al.It has been demonstrated that lymphomas are typically radiosensitive tumors and undergo apoptosis readily after radiation therapy (RT).RT produces very high local complete response rate for all lymphoma subtypes.This review will mainly focus on the role of RT in the treatment of aggressive lymphoma,indolent lymphoma,extranodal lymphoma and HL,as well as the application of modem RT techniques.
