Non-hodgkin's Lymphoma
(NHL) Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) is a type of cancer that starts in the lymphocytes, which are a type of white blood cell in the lymphatic system. NHL is marked by the growth of abnormal lymphocytes that multiply and spread to other parts of the body. This type of cancer is usually treatable, but can become life-threatening without prompt treatment. NHL is caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors and has no known single cause. Symptoms may include swollen or enlarged lymph nodes, fever, fatigue, and weight loss. Treatment for NHL may include chemotherapy, radiation, stem-cell transplantation, or targeted therapy. If caught early, NHL can be treated successfully.

Stem cells have the remarkable potential to develop into many different cell types in the body during early life and growth. They serve as a sort of internal repair system, dividing essentially without limit to replenish other cells as long as the person or animal is still alive. It can divide and become another type of cell such as a muscle cell.
