Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma

Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma (DLBCL) is an aggressive type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, a cancer that originates in lymphocytes—white blood cells involved in immune response. In DLBCL, these cells grow rapidly and abnormally, forming large clusters that can develop quickly and spread throughout the lymphatic system and other organs. Symptoms might include swollen lymph nodes, fever, night sweats, weight loss, and fatigue. It is considered treatable with chemotherapy, immunotherapy, or targeted therapy, especially when diagnosed early. Prompt medical attention is essential for effective management and improved outcomes.
