CD30+ Lymphoproliferative Disorders

CD30+ lymphoproliferative disorders are a group of diseases characterized by the abnormal growth of certain immune cells expressing a protein called CD30. These include conditions like Hodgkin lymphoma and some types of non-Hodgkin lymphoma. CD30 plays a role in cell signaling and is involved in the body’s immune response. In these disorders, the uncontrolled growth of CD30+ cells can lead to symptoms such as swollen lymph nodes, fever, and weight loss. Treatment often involves chemotherapy, radiation, or targeted therapies designed to specifically affect the CD30+ cells. Early diagnosis and intervention are crucial for better outcomes.
