Lymphoma
Lymphoma involves cancer of the lymph nodes and it’s causes are not well known. Types of lymphoma include non-hodgkin’s and hodgkins (also known as hodgkin’s disease). Read more about the research into lymphoma, symptoms, diagnosis and current treatment methods.
Understanding Lymphoma Cancer Symptoms
While forms of treatment for cancer of the lymphatic system are always advancing, early detection can certainly improve a patient’s prognosis. Learn about lymphoma cancer symptoms and decide if you should make a visit to see your doctor.
The Use of Bone Marrow Transplant for Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma
Learn about the use of bone marrow transplants for non-Hodgkins lymphoma, including why bone marrow transplants are needed, what the procedures involve and the potential risks
Learn What Causes Lymphoma
Lymphoma is a cancer of the lymph system, which is part of the immune system. Lymphoma arises when the DNA of lymph cells becomes damaged, causing the cells to grow uncontrollably. The cells continue growing and eventually form a mass, or tumor.
What is Enteropathy-Associated T-cell Lymphoma?
Enteropathy-associated T-cell lymphoma (EATL) begins first in the jejunum, between the duodenum and ileum, in the small intestine. Chronic celiac disease might exacerbate this cancer. Learn about this rare, malignant cancer along with its explanations.
What is Mantle Cell Lymphoma?
Mantle cell lymphoma is a rare kind of non Hodgkins lymphoma. It is a cancer that develops due to the overactive functioning of the B lymphocytes inside the lymphoid organs. Learn more about this type of condition that affects mostly men 50 years old and above.
What is Cutaneous T Cell Lymphoma?
Non-hodgkin’s lymphoma is a malignancy of the lymphoid organs. One type that affects about 5% of NHL patients is the Cutaneous T cell lymphoma (CTCL). CTCL manifest with the appearance of red skin patches in different areas of the body.

The Theory and Practice of Bone Marrow Transplant for Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma
The term Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL) describes a large group of lymphocyte malignancies. Bone marrow transplantation is a procedure more commonly used to treat leukemia than lymphoma. However, bone marrow transplant for non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma can be beneficial to some patients.
Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma (DLBCL) - Symptoms, Diagnosis and Treatment
Approximately 40% of adult non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) are classified as diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL). DLBCL is a malignancy of B lymphocytes (a type of white blood cell). As the malignancy develops it replaces the normal lymph node architecture and shows a characteristic ‘diffuse’ pattern.
Symptoms of Extranodal Lymphoma in the Abdomen
Lymphoma is a cancer that originates in the cells of the immune system. Lymphoma of the gastrointestinal tract is a rare disease with an incidence of 1.6 per 100,000. Approximately 50% of all lymphoma patients experience extranodal lymphoma in abdomen symptoms.
