Lymphoma

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…

Overview Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma is any cancer that begins within the lymphatic system. Normally old white blood cells, called lymphocytes, die while new ones are produced. In non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, old cells instead multiply and divide. The body starts to accumulate large numbers of these abnormal cells, and this often leads to the formation of tumors. There are various types of this condition, including diffuse large and marginal B-cell lymphomas, follicular lymphoma, chronic lymphocytic…

Comparative morphological analysis of paediatric double hit lymphoma to those seen in adults The index patient had an incisional rectal biopsy initially which displayed features in keeping with a diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. The neoplastic tumour cells displaying a diffuse arrangement. The individual cells having an increased nuclear-to-cytoplasmic ratio, round nuclei with vesicular chromatin pattern and prominent nucleoli. The tumour showed CD20, BCL6, and CD10 immunopositivity was…

therapeutics options for lymphomas and the election of them is based on the type of lymphoma, the progression of the disease, characteristics of each patient… However, the 3 main therapeutic options are chemotherapy, radiotherapy and immunotherapy. In this part, these and other methods will be analysed. Surgery Surgery has not any relevant role in the treatment of lymphomas13, it just have a role on the diagnosis (obtaining of biopsy material) and prognosis. This is cause lymphomas are blood…

highest survival rate. Hodgkin’s Lymphoma is a rare form of cancer that affects a part of the immune system called the lymphatic system. On average there are less than 200,000 cases a year in America. As the cancer progresses it may compromise the patient’s ability to fight off infections, causing said patient to become very sick. The cancer also can spread to other parts of the body including the lungs, liver, or bone marrow. In order to diagnose Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, your doctor may perform…

B-cell lymphoma who met a specific criteria. They had to be HBsAg negative and anti-HBc positive, must have received rituximab-containing combination chemotherapy regimens and must not have received prophylactic antiviral therapy. Results…

Cancer of the lymphatic system. Kaelli Zacchini Period 8 COLUMN 3: Inside Left Column How is it inherited? You can not inherit Burkitt’s Lymphoma from your parents. You can’t “catch” it either. This disorder is not passed down genetically. Since this disorder is known in Africa, scientists believe that this disorder is caused by the Epstein-Barr virus in children with immune systems weakened…

body that can have lifelong effects on your standard of living. Two diseases in particular are caused by a malfunction in the lymphatic system and they are called Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, a disease caused by mutation in B lymphocytes and Elephantiasis, caused by a parasitic worm carried and transferred by mosquitos. Hodgkin’s lymphoma is a cancerous disease with origins that are still relatively unknown but is understood…

Blood cancer is the number two largest killer in American’s, second to heart disease. Leukemia and Lymphoma are both blood cancers. Leukemia affects the bone marrow, and other body organs that produce blood. Lymphoma affects the lymph nodes, which carry nutrients between tissues and the blood stream. But, thanks to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society more people are getting medical attention, treatments, support, and the education they require to improve their health. After you learn about how this…

When it comes to tumors or masses, they can be either benign or malignant. However, when it comes to lymphoma we are referring to a cancerous disease involving the lymphatic system. A lymphoma primarily begins within the lymphocytes, which are the cells within the lymphatic system that are involved in the destruction of invasive microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens. Lymphocytes…
