lymphoid neoplasms

Lymphoid neoplasms are types of cancers that develop from lymphoid cells, which are part of the immune system. These cancers, called lymphomas or leukemia, occur when lymphoid cells grow uncontrollably, forming tumors or gathering in the blood and tissues. They can impact lymph nodes, the spleen, bone marrow, or other organs. These diseases vary in aggressiveness, some progressing quickly and others more slowly. Treatment options include chemotherapy, radiation, immunotherapy, or targeted drugs. Early diagnosis and advances in treatment have improved outcomes for many affected individuals.
