Excerpt

A physical examination, imaging tests (also called "diagnostic radiology"), tissue biopsies and blood tests are used to determine the extent of the patient's NHL. This process is called "staging," and the information is used to determine appropriate treatments such as whether radiation therapy should be part of the patient?s treatment regimen.
