abstract={<b>Background</b>: Most non-Hodgkin¡¯s lymphomas (NHL) arise in lymph nodes or other lymphatic tissues such as the spleen, Waldeyer¡¯s ring and thymus. The aim of study is to evaluate the survival in nodal NHL patients for the first time in the west of Iran. <b>Patients and Methods:</b> Fifty-three patients with nodal NHL referred to Our Clinic from 2002-2014. We checked age, sex, histopathology reports, anatomic sites and survival for them. One representative Material of patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBL), FL, SLL and anaplastic lymphoma was re-classified after revision. The overall survival (OS) was plotted by GraphPad Prism 5 software. <b>Results</b>: For all patients, the median age at diagnosis was 52¡À16.92 (range, 16-92 years) that 26 patients (49.1%) had age¡Ü50 years. Thirty-four patients (64.2%) were male. Involvement anatomic sites were axillary, neck, inguinal, cervical, mediasten, bone marrow, abdominal, bladder, tonsil and supraclavicular for 11 patients (20.6%), 9(17%), 9(17%), 8(15.2%), 6(11.3%), 5(9.4%), 2(3.8%), 1(1.9%), 1(1.9%) and 1(1.9%), respectively. The 3-year, 5-year and 10-year survival rates are 65%, 54.2% and 51%, respectively. <b>Conclusion</b>: The OS in this study is higher than a number of studies and the median age is lower. Also, the male-to-female ratio for nodal lymphoma is higher than other studies and nodal NHL patients accrue more in males.},
