The new BSH guidelines cover diagnosis and imaging, treatment recommendations (including for people whose lymphoma has not responded to treatment [refractory] or has come back [relapsed] after treatment and long-term follow-up. They emphasise the importance of a multidisciplinary team that includes neurologists as well as haematologists/oncologists.
