Overview
The lymphatic system is a network of vessels, organs, and tissues that transports the fluid known as lymph throughout the body. This fluid helps the body to fight infection and carries away waste products. Diseases of the lymphatic system can impair the body's ability to fight infection and filter out toxins, which can lead to serious health issues. Some of the most common types of diseases affecting the lymphatic system include lymphoma, Hodgkin's lymphoma, filariasis, and lymphedema. Treatment of these diseases typically involves medical treatments such as chemotherapy, transplants, and medications. Awareness of and research into these diseases is incredibly important for maintaining health and a healthy immune system.
