Lymphoma

Hodgkin’s Lymphoma Hodgkin’s Lymphoma is a type of lymphoma; it is also called Hodgkin’s Disease. Lymphoma is a type of cancer that starts in white blood cells called lymphocytes. If Hodgkin’s Lymphoma is caught early (stage one and two), patients have up to a ninety percent chance of survival. Certain risk factors can be controlled, but most of them are uncontrollable. There are several risk factors that can lead to Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. They include age, gender, socioeconomic status, family

Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma is one of the most common types of cancers in the United States that affect mostly older adults. The American Cancer Society estimates that 72,580 people in the Unites States will be diagnosed with the disease just in the year 2016 alone. Of that number, there are about 20,150 people expected to die from the disease. There is also a 2% chance of people in the United States developing the disease (American cancer society, n.d.). There have been many researches done about the

The topic I decided to do my paper on is Hodgkin’s Lymphoma in this paper I will talk about what Hodgkin’s Lymphoma is different kinds of Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, treatment, statistics, and the survival rate. I will also talk about the staging system, risk factors, how it can be found early, if it can be prevented, what causes the disease, symptoms and signs of the disease, and how it is diagnosed and treated. Hodgkin’s Lymphoma is a type of cancer that starts in the lymphocytes, a type of white blood

Journal for exam 3 Hello I’m Dr. T Lymphocyte and I will be answering your questions on Hodgkin Lymphoma & Non- Hodgkin Lymphoma. Now these types of lymphoma are common blood cancers that involve T cells. Risk factors in having this kind of cancer could be from family history of it or infection from autoimmune diseases. Receiving an organ transplant from a donor with the possibility of having some hereditary pattern of this cancer could give you the cancer. Other risks of acquiring HL or NHL are

The disease that I chose is Nodular Lymphocyte Predominant Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NLPHL), a type of cancer, but specifically a type of Hodgkin’s lymphoma. I have chosen this because a year ago I was battling it. One day I was a normal teenager and the next, I was getting to know the Hematology Oncology clinic that I’d be spending a numerous amount of days in. Hodgkin’s lymphoma can affect anyone, all the way from a baby to a 114 year old lady. But NLPHL usually affects 30-40 year old men, which I am

Abstract B-cell lymphomas can be identified by many clinical findings with signs, symptoms, and changes in the tissue. Splenic B-cell lymphoma is an invasion of the b-cells overtaking the normal white tissue of the spleen. Through research, the ability to identify these clinical symptoms has been boosted. Splenic lymphoma with splenomegaly is the classic identifier for B-cell lymphomas; they may lead to hyperslenism or complete removal of the spleen. There are various classifications of B-cell

Leukemia and Lymphoma Society History of the Organization The nonprofit Leukemia and Lymphoma society came about from the sorrow of a couple whose son lost his life in 1944. His name was RobbieRobert Roesler de Villiers, part of a well-off family based in New York. Leukemia was the cause of his death at the early age of 16. Following their son’s death, his parents, Rudolph and Antoinette, began an organization in 1949 under his name. The product of their efforts was run out of a Wall Street office

Lymphoma The human body is made up of millions of cells that divide continuously either for growth or replacement of worn-out cells-depending on the human stage of development. During the early stages of human development, cell division is rapid for accentuating growth while, in later years of a person’s life, cell division slows down and only takes place for replacement of worn-out or injured cells. This normal cell process is hindered by cancer cell growth. The start of cancer cell growth is manifested

Hodgkin’s Disease Cancers arising from the lymph nodes or other sites of lymphoid tissue are broadly termed lymphomas. This group of diseases is divided into Hodgkin’s disease and non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. In both conditions, there is a replacement of normal lymphatic tissue by collections of abnormal lymphoma cells. The lymphatic system are a complex network of specialised cells and organs that defend the body against infection. Lymphatic organs include the bone marrow, spleen, thymus gland

Discussion When evaluating the recent onset of regional lymphadenopathy in a teenager, there are various etiologies that should be explored. Lymphadenopathy is often a benign entity that is self-limiting but can also be the presenting sign of a more serious illness. Our patient had several signs and symptoms that were concerning for both a malignant etiology as well as an infectious cause for his acute, painful lymphadenopathy. Due to the commonality and potentially serious causes of lymphadenopathy
