Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma

Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) is a cancer of the lymphocytes, cells of the immune system which help the body fight infection. NHL is usually more aggressive than Hodgkin's disease and can occur at any age. NHL may present with swollen lymph nodes, fever, fatigue, and enlarged organs, leading to diagnosis through biopsy and imaging studies. Treatment usually includes chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy, and newer immunotherapies are being explored. Early detection and treatment are key to improved outcomes. Research is ongoing to improve diagnosis and treatments for NHL.
