Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma

Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL) is a type of cancer that originates in the lymphatic system, which is part of the immune system. Unlike Hodgkin Lymphoma, it does not have the Reed-Sternberg cells. NHL can occur in various forms, affecting different types of white blood cells called lymphocytes. Symptoms may include swollen lymph nodes, fever, weight loss, and night sweats. The exact cause is often unclear, with some cases linked to immune system problems or certain infections. Treatment options vary, including chemotherapy, radiation, and targeted therapies, depending on the specific type and stage of the lymphoma.
