Lymphoma

Lymphoma: Cervical Lymphoma is a cancer that attacks the white blood cells in the immune system(Webmd, 2005). Lymphoma is also the cancer of lymph node, when the grow and divide uncontrollably (Zimmermann, 2015). There are different types of Lymphoma that form, it can be treatable and even cured (American Cancer Society, 2015). There are two main types of lymphoma: Non-Hodgkin and Hodgkin disease (Rueben, 1998). Lymphoma affects around 156,420 people (Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, 1975). A more

ENKTL lymphoma nasal type is a rare disease common in the Southeast Asian, Mesoamericans and the South American heritage [7,8]. However, the disease is less common in the European and the African population [7,8,16]. ENKTL lymphoma nasal type accounts about 7-10% of all non-Hodgkin lymphoma present in the Southeast Asian population [8,16]. Typically, patients present with this disease in the fourth and fifth decade of life, but it can occur at any age [8]. Mean age of the patients in our studies

Non-Hodgkin lymphoma accounts for 40 to 50% of all lymphomas in children and adolescents. It represents approximately 6% of all malignancies in patients aged 0 to 19 years though Burkitt lymphoma comprises the large majority of primary paediatric gastrointestinal tract lymphomas. It is a highly aggressive non-Hodgkin B-cell lymphoma that often presents at extranodal sites. In the paediatric population, sporadic Burkitt lymphoma usually has an abdominal presentation with massive disease and ascites

Leukemia, Hodgkin lymphoma and myeloma are all types of blood cancer affecting the white blood cells, namely lymphoid or myeloid white blood cells or the plasma cells. In one research conducted in the Nurses’ Health Study, NHS, and Health Professionals Follow-Up Study HPFS, over a 22 years period, they found association between consuming aspartame and increased risk of the blood cancer. A large sample consisting of 77,218 women aged between 30-55 years old and 47,810 men within an age group of 40-75

One type of lymphoma, which captures my attention, is Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Hodgkin’s particularly affects the immune system and originates 1600. That is, on average how many people die from cancer a day, meaning more than one person dies a minute from a form of cancer. Additionally, on average

Lymphoma comes in two types Hodgkin’s and non-Hodgkin's Both types are a cancer based disease of the cells. The body constantly makes new cells to help us grow, replace worn-out tissue and heal injuries.Cancer occurs when the cells don't grow, divide and die in the usual way. This then causes blood of lymph fluid in the body to become abnormal, or form a lump called a tumour. These types of tumors are the Benign tumor which the cells are confined into one area and are not able to spread to other

Hodgkin Lymphoma, Pediatric Hodgkin lymphoma, also called Hodgkin disease, is a cancer that affects the lymphatic system. The lymphatic system is part of the body's defense system (immune system), which protects the body from infections, germs, and diseases. Hodgkin lymphoma often affects white blood cells and the lymph nodes. Hodgkin lymphoma can spread from lymph node to lymph node and to areas of the body where there is lymph tissue, including to the center of the bones (bone marrow). Advanced

Diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most prevalent form of non-Hodgkin lymphomas (NHL) and constitutes 30-40% of NHL with a crude incidence of 3–4/100.000/year in the European Union [1]. Classification of DLBCL based on gene expression profiling (GEP) identifies three subgroups, namely germinal-centre B-cell-like (GCB) DLBCL, activated B-cell-like (ABC) DLBCL, and primary mediastinal B-cell lymphoma (PMBCL) [3, 4]. DLBCL is a highly aggressive disease representing a clinically, morphologically

living life as any normal eleven year old. Life was a breeze. Then on February twenty-sixth, my whole world changed. My mother found out she had stage three Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. “Mom was going to die,” was the only thing running though my little scatter brain. She would not see my graduate or follow my dreams. Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma is a cancer that runs through the lymphatic system of the body. There are four stages: stages one and two being completely treated very easily, and stages three and four

Lymphoma There are approximately 62,000 people around the world that are diagnosed with lymphoma every year. That means about 169 people are diagnosed with lymphoma every day, and some of us aren’t even aware of what lymphoma is. Lymphoma is a blood cancer that takes place when lymphocytes start to behave abnormal. Once the cells become abnormal they stop protecting the body from infections or diseases which cause them to grow without control and form tumors. There are two main types of lymphomas
