Mantle cell lymphoma
Mantle cell lymphoma is a type of blood cancer that develops in the lymphatic system, which is part of your immune defense. It originates from B cells, a kind of white blood cell, located in a specific area of the lymph node called the mantle zone. This cancer tends to grow slowly but can spread throughout the body. Symptoms may include swollen lymph nodes, fatigue, weight loss, or night sweats. Treatment options often involve chemotherapy, targeted therapy, or stem cell transplants. While it can be challenging to cure, advances in medicine have improved management and outcomes for many patients.
