peripheral T-cell lymphoma

Peripheral T-cell lymphoma is a type of cancer that begins in mature T-cells, which are a part of the immune system helping the body fight infections. Unlike more common B-cell lymphomas, this form involves abnormal T-cells that grow uncontrollably, forming tumors usually in lymph nodes, sometimes spreading to other organs. Symptoms can include swelling, fever, weight loss, or fatigue. It’s a rare and diverse group of diseases, often requiring complex treatments like chemotherapy or targeted therapies. Early diagnosis and specialized care are important for better outcomes.
