In disseminated low-grade non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, early intervention does not prolong survival, so watch and wait is an acceptable approach. The reason to delay is that the client may remain stable for years without treatments that could cause adverse reactions and decrease quality of life. CHOP is standard treatment for intermediate-grade non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Radiation therapy is appropriate for both intermediate-grade and high-grade non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Bone marrow transplant is used for a client with a recurrence of the disease.

Preventive care agencies provide education, inoculations, and support healthy lifestyles. Primary care services provide diagnostics and routine treatment. Secondary care services include emergent treatment and intermediate care. Tertiary care services include high-tech treatment and critical care.
