Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma

Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma is a type of cancer that originates in the lymphatic system, which is part of the immune system. It involves abnormal growth of lymphocytes, a kind of white blood cell, leading to enlarged lymph nodes and other symptoms. Unlike Hodgkin's lymphoma, it does not have the characteristic Reed-Sternberg cells. Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma can develop anywhere in the lymphatic system and vary widely in severity and speed of progression. Treatment options include chemotherapy, radiation therapy, targeted therapy, and sometimes immunotherapy, depending on the specific type and stage of the disease.
