Hodgkin's Lymphona

Lymphomas are a cancer of the lymphatic system and are divided into two groups – Hodgkin’s lymphoma and non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Lymphoma cells generally grow in lymph nodes (glands) and make them enlarge.

Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma

Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma often begins in the lymph nodes in the neck, armpit or chest. Sometimes the cancer may spread to other lymph nodes nearby or cells may enter the blood stream and carried to other organs such as the stomach or the bowel. The treatment of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma depends on the type of lymphoma it is, where it is in the body, how far it has spread and your general state of health. Some lymphomas are very slow growing and need little or no treatment for many years. Treatment for lymphoma, even when it has spread from the original site, can be very successful. Many people can be cured, or their disease controlled for many years.
