Overview

Lymphoma is a type of cancer that originates in lymphocytes. There are many classifications for lymphoma. In common classification, there are two kinds of lymphoma: Hodgkin's disease and Non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Hodgkin's disease is also called Hodgkin's lymphoma.

What are the symptoms of Lymphoma?

What causes Lymphoma?

Non-Hodgkin lymphomas begin when a type of white blood cell, called a T cell or B cell, becomes abnormal. The cell divides again and again, making more and more abnormal cells. These abnormal cells can spread to almost any other part of the body. Most of the time, doctors can't determine why a person gets non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
