Hodgkin's Lymphoma

Hodgkin's Lymphoma is a type of cancer that begins in the lymphatic system, part of the body's immune system. It occurs when certain white blood cells, called lymphocytes, grow abnormally and form solid tumors. Symptoms often include swollen lymph nodes, fever, night sweats, and weight loss. The exact cause is unclear, but it is often treatable, with treatments like chemotherapy, radiation, and, in some cases, stem cell transplants leading to high survival rates. Early diagnosis is crucial for effective treatment and management of the disease.
