Hodgkin's lymphoma

1.6 Hodgkin’s Lymphoma Previous in silico research in our laboratory found that H2A.B is highly expressed in one particular cancer type, Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. Hodgkin’s Lymphoma (HL) is a type of B cell cancer that affects both men and women of various ages. HL can be divided into two classes: classical HL (cHL) and Nodular Lymphocyte Predominant HL (NLPHL) according to the WHO classification 2008 (Swerdlow et al., 2008). The classical HL accounts for 95% of all HL cases, and it has been further divided into 4 subtypes: Nodular sclerosis cHL, which is the most common phenotype (75% of cHL cases); Mixed cellularity cHL, the second most common phenotype (15-25% of cHL cases); Lymphocyte Rich cHL and Lymphocyte Depleted cHL, which comprise 6% and…

Hodgkin’s Lymphoma Michelle Kral Hodgkin’s Lymphoma is my topic of choice. Throughout this paper you’ll read all about Hodgkin’s Lymphoma; how it came to be? Does it leave, stay, or come back once gone? Etc. To start off, the symptoms of Hodgkin’s Lymphoma are heavy breathing, night sweats,…

Hodgkin's Lymphoma, which is formerly known as Hodgkin's disease, is the cancer of the lymphatic system. Cells in the lymphatic system grow abnormally and sometimes rapidly, and can be spread outside of the system. As the cancer progresses, your body loses its ability to fight infection and can become dangerous. It is relatively rare; there are less than 200,000 cases of this disease per year in the United States. There is another type of lymphoma, Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma, which is much more…

Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma (NHL) is a type of cancer that originates in the lymphatic system, the system in the body that is responsible for fighting disease, and is known to be the 6th most common cause of cancer death.1 There are many different types of lymphoma and is classified based on multiple factors such as the pathophysiology of the disease, how the disease metastasizes to other organs and its response to treatment. The two main types of lymphoma are NHL and Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. Hodgkin’s…

AIDS-related lymphoma is a broad term for a group of blood cancers that, as its name implies, affects AIDS patients. There are various types of non-Hodgkin lymphomas (NHLs) that this category encompasses, so it is not as clear-cut as one might imagine. AIDS-related lymphomas are very complex diseases with many factors to consider. It is important to understand the origin of AIDS-related lymphoma. According to the article “AIDS-Related Malignancies,” AIDS-related lymphoma is believed to be…

Hodgkin 's Lymphoma Hodgkin 's lymphoma (also known as Hodgkin 's disease) is a cancer that develops in the lymphatic system called lymphocytes. Lymphocytes are a type of white blood cell that helps the body fight infection. All other lymphomas are classified as non-Hodgkin 's lymphoma. Hodgkin 's disease is distinguished by the presence of large abnormal cells, called Reed-Sternberg cells. The disease is less common than non-Hodgkin 's lymphoma (Simon, 2013). Hodgkin 's lymphoma affects…

Cassandra C. is a 17-year-old girl who was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Cassandra C. refused treatment for her cancer with the full support of her mother, Jackie Fortin, and their decisions pitted them against Cassandra’s doctors, the lower court system, and eventually the Connecticut Supreme Court (Macklin, 2015). This paper discusses the ethical dilemma posed by Cassandra’s case and will include the ethical principles of patient autonomy, which means “that individuals have the right to…

Lymphoma cancer is a cancer that starts in the cells that are apart of your body immune system, which can affect most of your treatment options. The immune system works to fight off sickness. Thomas Hodgkins discovered lymphoma cancer in 1832 and it was named after him. The main types of lymphoma are hodgkin's -lymphoma and non- hodgkin's lymphoma. Lymphoma cannot be spread from one person to another person. Although there are specific groups of individuals that have a higher risk than…

wished we were outside enjoying the warm Summer days instead of cooped up in a sterile, depressing hospital room. Finally, on July 10th, we were told the biopsy results were back. My ex-husband and I were told that a doctor would talk to Austin while we went into a different room to talk to a different doctor. When we were told to do this, I knew something was terribly wrong. Why couldn’t they just tell us all together? I sat down on a soft, cushioned couch across from the doctor. The news I had…
