2. Identifying Different Types of Lymphoma
Lymphomas are cancers that originate in the lymphatic system, which is part of the body’s immune system. This system includes lymph nodes, lymphatic vessels, the thymus gland, the spleen, and bone marrow. Lymphomas are of two types: Hodgkin lymphoma and non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
Both HL and NHL can cause symptoms such as swollen lymph nodes, fever, night sweats, weight loss, and fatigue. Diagnosis involves physical examination, imaging tests, blood tests, and lymph node biopsy. Treatment plans are tailored to individual patients based on factors such as the type of lymphoma, its stage, and the patient’s overall health.
