Aggressive Non-Hodgkin's Lymphomas (NHLs) are fast growing forms of lymphoma.  They encompass what were called high grade and some categories of intermediate grade NHL in the Working Formulation.  Aggressive NHLs are generally responsive to conventional cancer 
therapies such as chemotherapy and 
radiation therapy
.

Here is a listing of each type of aggressive NHL, information on that form, and resources for further study.  This site follows the US National Cancer Institute (NCI) on what is an aggressive lymphoma and what is an indolent lymphoma.
