Lymphoma

Lymphoma Resource Page

The Lymphoma Resource page is a collaborative project of NeedyMeds and the Lymphoma Research Foundation. It is intended to provide information on lymphoma and to streamline and simplify the way those with lymphoma may find assistance paying for their medications.

Lymphoma is a type of blood cancer that occurs when lymphocytes--white blood cells that help protect the body from infection and disease--begin behaving abnormally. Abnormal lymphocytes may divide faster than normal cells or they may live longer than they are supposed to. Lymphoma may develop in many parts of the body, including the lymph nodes, spleen, bone marrow, blood or other organs. There are two main types of lymphomas: Hodgkin Lymphoma and Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma.
Patient Assistance Programs (PAPs) are programs offered by pharmaceutical companies to help those most in need gain access to their medications at no or low cost. Each program has varying financial and insurance guidelines - when in doubt, call the program. To find the specific PAP information for a specific drug click on the list below. You will then be taken to a listing of all the programs available for that medication.
