Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma What is Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma you may ask? It’s a cancer that starts in white blood cells called lymphocytes, which are a part of the body's immune system. Over the years the rate of NHL has increased rapidly. Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma is different from Hodgkins because NHL includes different types of lymphoma while Hodgkin's does not. You may ask, what’s the difference in NHL and HL? Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma doesn’t include the Reed-Sternberg cells although Hodgkin's does

this weekly research, I have chosen Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma. From my research, Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma is also called NHL, and no, not for the National Hockey League! But for the acronym of Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma. Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma is a cancer that starts in your lymphatic system where it in turn, develops into tumors from our white blood cells, called lymphocytes. Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma is a more common type than that of the Hodgkin Lymphoma. Some of Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma’s symptoms may include painless

Non Hodgkin's Lymphoma is cancer that begins in the lymph system in the white blood cells. These white blood cells are called lymphocytes and are in the immune system to fight off disease and infections. These white blood cells are found in the spleen, bone marrow, lymph nodes, as well as other areas of the body. When these cells are abnormal they either duplicate faster than normal cells or live too long, no longer fighting off disease. The cells duplicating faster causes a tumor to develop

Clinical manifestations of Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma: Non-Hodgkin lymphoma can bring about a wide range of signs and side effects, contingent upon where it is in the body. Now and again it won't not create any indications until it becomes very huge. Regular signs and manifestations include:  Enlarged lymph nodes  Swollen abdomen (belly)  Feeling full after only a small amount of food  Chest pain or pressure  Shortness of breath or cough  Fever  Weight loss  Night sweats  Fatigue (extreme tiredness)

begin by explaining what Hodgkin disease is. Followed by what are the causes, signs and symptoms. Next I will explain possible treatments for the disease. Then, I will discuss how Hodgkin disease affects everyday life of a person who suffers from it. “Hodgkin disease also known as Hodgkin lymphoma is a cancer of the lymphatic system. Cells in the lymphatic system grow abnormally and may spread beyond the lymphatic system” (mayoclinic.org, 2014).” Hodgkin disease is a type of lymphoma, a cancer that

The disease I choose to write about is Cancer, specifically Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma is a large group of cancers of lymphocytes (white blood cells). The disease can occur at any age but most notably older than 60. Cancer is prominent on both sides of my family. On my mom’s side there is (my grandmother, my aunt) which have both passed with cancer and my mother, my uncle, and my grandfather all have cancer that is in remission at this time. On my dad’s side, there was my dad

there were different forms of cancer but I didn’t really understand how to detect or even the treatment if any that was available to people suffering from this disease. I will be reviewing the different forms of Cancer such as Sarcoma, Carcinoma, Lymphoma, and Leukemia while discussing some of the signs and systems associated with each form of Cancer and also where each form is developed in the body. One form of Cancer is Sarcoma, which develops in the bone or certain soft tissues. Although

Arthur Galston, who specialized in herbicide research, published a review of what was known at the time about the toxicity of TCDD. Even "vanishingly small" quantities of dioxin in the diet caused adverse health effects when tested on animals. The National Toxicology Program has classified TCDD as "known to be a human carcinogen", frequently associated with soft-tissue sarcoma, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, Hodgkin's lymphoma and chronic lymphocytic

Lymphoma is a type of cancer that affects the lymphatic system that is part of the immune system. It attacks the white blood cells that are called lymphocytes. Normal cells have a lifespan, they do their job and die after they are done and the cycle continues. Abnormal cells that do not die and continue to bloom in a large supply and become out of control is what makes up cancer. The cells become dangerous and begin to attack the body instead of protecting it. Once cancer takes over the lymphocytes
