Answers:
I am sorry to hear that your friend suffers from NK Lymphoma!.
I suppose you mean extranodal NK cell lymphoma!. Its other name is angiocentric lymphoma!. So you can search for that also!.
If the site is localised then the choice of therapy will be chemotherapy with radiotherapy, with some doctors advising a long term maintaince therapy!.
In case it is disseminated then the choice will be chemotherapy!.
Mainly, in disseminated variant the success rate is poorer!.
Therefore the success rate depends on the stage of the malignancy!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

There are 15 types of NK lymphoma, and the prognosis varies by type!. This group of diseases was formerly called Hodgkin's disease, after Dr!. Hodgkin, who first described the disease in 1832!. All lymphomas are grouped as either Hodgkins or non-Hodgkins, and the differences between those two major groups are of great significance!.

There are many sources online of good information, including Wikipedia (http://en!.wikipedia!.org/wiki/Lymphoma), Lymphomation,org (http://www!.lymphomation!.org/type-NK!.htm)!.!.!. and many others!.

I suggest you go to the Yahoo!.com page, as I did, and enter the term "NK lymphoma" in the Web Search space!. You will find huge amounts of information there!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
