Lymphoma Lymphoma is a cancer of a part of the immune system called the lymph system. There are many types of lymphoma. One type is Hodgkin disease. The rest are called non-Hodgkin lymphomas. Non-Hodgkin lymphomas begin when a type of white blood cell, called a T cell or B cell, becomes abnormal. The cell divides again and again, making more and more abnormal cells.

Surviving Lymphoma: Secondary Cancers For Hodkgin's Lymphoma, the most common secondary cancers are: Stomach cancer; Lung cancer; Colorectal cancer; Thyroid cancer; Breast cancer; Bone cancer; Leukemia; Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma; The chance for developing a secondary cancer after 20 years of remission is 10%. This risk increases to 26% after 30 years.

What is Hodgkinâs disease? What is Hodgkin’s disease? Hodgkin’s disease (HD) is a type of lymphoma, which is a blood cancer that starts in the lymphatic system. The lymphatic system helps the immune system get rid of waste and fight infections. HD is also called Hodgkin disease, Hodgkin lymphoma, and Hodgkin’s lymphoma.

Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma is a type of cancer that originates in the lymphatic system. It is estimated to be the sixth most common cancer in the United States. The lymphatic system is part of the body's immune system and helps fight infections and other diseases.

Md. Gov. Larry Hogan has non-Hodgkinâs lymphoma. Even in late stages, itâs often curable. Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan (R) has the most common form of cancer that affects the lymphatic system, which fights disease throughout the body. But even when non-Hodgkin's lymphoma reaches its later stages and has spread, as it has in Hogan, it is often curable because of drugs that have been developed to fight it, experts say. James Rubenstein, a hematologist-oncologist at the University of California San Francisco Medical Center, said that, conservatively, half the patients with the disease survive five years.

Hodgkin disease Hodgkin’s Disease. Hodgkin’s disease is a lymphoma, a cancer of the lymphatic system. Hodgkin’s disease and non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma are the two types of lymphomas. Hodgkin’s disease is distinguished by the presence of large abnormal cells, called Reed-Sternberg cells.The disease is less common than non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Both leukemia and lymphomas (Hodgkin’s disease and non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas) are cancers of lymphocytes. 2  The difference is that leukemia starts in the bone marrow while lymphomas originate in lymph nodes and then spread to the bone marrow or other organs.

Lymphoma Lymphoma is the name for a group of blood cancers that develop in the lymphatic system. The two main types are Hodgkin lymphoma and non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). Hodgkin lymphoma has characteristics that distinguish it from other diseases classified as lymphoma, including the presence of Reed-Sternberg cells. These are large, cancerous cells found in Hodgkin lymphoma tissues, named for the scientists who first identified them. Hodgkin lymphoma is one of the most curable forms of cancer. NHL represents a diverse group of diseases distinguished by the characteristics of the cancer cells associated with each disease type.

About Hodgkin lymphoma The lymphatic system. In Hodgkin lymphoma, it is cells in the lymph nodes that have become cancerous. Lymph nodes are bean shaped glands found all over the body that are part of the lymphatic system. They are connected by very fine tubes called lymph vessels (or lymphatics).he most common place for Hodgkin lymphoma to be noticed is in the lymph nodes in the neck. But it can start in lymph nodes anywhere in the body, for example, in the chest, groin or abdomen, or under the arm. You can also get Hodgkin lymphoma in body organs. The organ most commonly affected is the spleen.

- INTRODUCTION. Hodgkin lymphoma (HL, formerly called Hodgkin's disease) is a neoplasm characterized by the presence of clonal malignant Hodgkin/Reed-Sternberg (HRS) cells (picture 1 and picture 2) in a reactive cellular background comprised of variable numbers of granulocytes, macrophages, plasma cells, and lymphocytes.

Liver cancer Liver cancer, also known as hepatic cancer and primary hepatic cancer, is cancer that starts in the liver. Cancer which has spread from elsewhere to the liver, known as liver metastasis, is more common than that which starts in the liver. Symptoms of liver cancer may include a lump or pain in the right side below the rib cage, swelling of the abdomen, yellowish skin, easy bruising, weight loss, and weakness.

Leukemia & Lymphoma What Is Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma? Lymphoma refers to a malignancy of the lymphatic system. The lymphatic system is a network of nodes (knots of tissue) connected by vessels. Together, the lymph nodes drain fluid and waste products from the body.

- Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) is a unique malignant neoplasm in which the malignant cell represents only a small proportion of the cells making up the tumor. The majority of the cells are small lymphocytes, histiocytes, neutrophils, plasma cells, and fibroblasts in different proportions depending on the histological subtypes.

- The staging system that is commonly used for Hodgkin's lymphoma is: 1  Stage I-the lymphoma affects one group of lymph nodes only. 2  Stage II-the lymphoma affects two or more groups of lymph nodes. 3  However, they are all on the same side of the diaphragm.

Liver Cancer Liver cancer is the uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells in the liver. Most liver tumors in the United States spread to the liver from other places in the body. This is referred to as secondary liver cancer or metastatic cancer. The liver is the most common place for cancer to spread. In patients with secondary liver cancer, doctors treat patients for the original site of the cancer. So, metastatic lung cancer that has spread to the liver would be treated as lung cancer, not liver cancer.

What is Hodgkin lymphoma's effect on the lymphatic system? Hodgkin lymphoma, or HL, was formerly called Hodgkin's disease. It is a cancer of the lymphatic system, which is a part of the immune system that consists of a series of ducts or tubes that parallel the arteries and veins throughout the body. These lymph ducts drain a milky white fluid that contains byproducts of immune activity away from areas of inflammation and infection.

Liver Cancer Liver cancer is the growth and spread of unhealthy cells in the liver. Cancer that starts in the liver is called primary liver cancer. Cancer that spreads to the liver from another organ is called metastatic liver cancer. About 30,000 Americans are diagnosed with primary liver cancer each year. Primary liver cancer is one of the cancers on the rise in the United States.

Causes Hodgkin lymphoma - Causes. Causes of Hodgkin lymphoma. Hodgkin lymphoma is caused by a change (mutation) in the DNA of a type of white blood cell called B lymphocytes, although the exact reason why this happens isn't known. The DNA gives the cells a basic set of instructions, such as when to grow and reproduce.
