NHL (Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma)

Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL) is a type of cancer that affects the lymphatic system, which is part of the body’s immune system. It originates in lymphocytes, a type of white blood cell that helps fight infections. Unlike Hodgkin lymphoma, NHL includes a diverse group of cancers with varying characteristics. Symptoms can include swollen lymph nodes, fever, night sweats, and unexpected weight loss. Diagnosis typically involves blood tests, imaging, and biopsy. Treatment options may include chemotherapy, radiation, targeted therapy, or immunotherapy, depending on the specific type and stage of the disease. Regular monitoring and follow-up care are essential for managing NHL.
