Case Report: Care of the Adolescent Patient With Lymphoma

Pediatric primary care providers (PCPs) are the facilitators of health care for their patients. Pediatric lymphoma cases present a unique problem for patients and their families. Non-Hodgkin lymphoma is an often-treatable form of cancer; when identified early, a timely intervention can ensue. Care coordination will require the PCP to work in consultation with a pediatric oncologist to obtain the appropriate serum tests and radiologic scans. Once diagnosis is confirmed, the PCP ’s role involves supportive care.
