David Brooks has been diagnosed with Stage 2 Hodgkin Lymphoma. Survival rate is about 90% for that stage so hopefully he won’t be a DDP hit in the coming years.Age is more important, younger people have much better outcomes @ stage 4 than elderly people @ stage 2. The overall survival rate for stage 2 is 94.3%, at his age his chances of dying are almost non-existent.

Lymphoma is typically diagnosed at an advanced stage but it's known to be a curable/treatable form of cancer. People's perception of cancer is usually based on the knowledge of solid tumour carcinoma. Lymphoma is a blood cancer and the different types are key. The type he has is the most common one, it's aggressive but quite curable. Indolent lymphoma is more survivable with a 90% 5-year survival rate at stage 4, but it's generally considered incurable w/o allo-HSCT (the type of transplant most often used in high-risk blood cancers such as adult acute leukaemia) .

Staging is not that important for lymphoma (unlike solid tumours), other factors such as age can be more important. The 10 year survival rate of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) for a person under 50 is about 80%.

Not much of a difference for people his age. ALL is a disease most commonly seen in 2 to 3-year-olds, of course the survival rate will look much better.
