Hodgkin Lymphoma (for differentiation)
Hodgkin Lymphoma is a type of blood cancer that develops in the lymphatic system, which is part of your immune system. It involves the abnormal growth of specific immune cells called Reed-Sternberg cells, leading to enlarged lymph nodes, often in the neck, chest, or armpits. Symptoms may include painless swelling, fever, night sweats, and weight loss. It is diagnosed through biopsies and other tests. Hodgkin lymphoma is highly treatable, especially if caught early, often with chemotherapy and radiation therapy. Differentiation from other lymphomas depends on the presence of Reed-Sternberg cells, which are unique to Hodgkin lymphoma.
