Treatment Print Cutaneous B-cell lymphoma treatment depends on the specific type of lymphoma that you have. Treatment options may include: Radiation therapy. Radiation therapy treats cancer with powerful energy beams. The energy can come from X-rays, protons or other sources. Radiation therapy can be used alone to treat cutaneous lymphoma. Sometimes it's used after surgery to kill any cancer cells that might be left. Surgery to remove the cancer. Your healthcare professional may recommend a procedure to remove the cancer and some of the healthy tissue that surrounds it. This might be an option if you have one or only a few areas of cutaneous lymphoma. Surgery might be the only treatment needed. Sometimes other treatments are needed after surgery. Injecting medicine into the cancer. Sometimes medicine can be injected into the cancer. One example is steroid medicines. This treatment is sometimes used for cutaneous lymphoma that grows very slowly. Chemotherapy. Chemotherapy treats cancer with strong medicines. Chemotherapy medicines can be applied to the skin to control cutaneous lymphoma. Chemotherapy also can be given through a vein. This might be used if the cancer is growing quickly or is advanced. Targeted therapy. Targeted therapy medicines attack specific chemicals present in cancer cells. By blocking these chemicals, targeted therapy treatments cause cancer cells to die. Targeted therapy medicines can be injected into the cancer to treat cutaneous lymphoma. Or the medicines can be given through a vein.
