Cancer arising from the different cells found in the skin is basically of three types: basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma or melanoma. Lymphoma of the skin arises from lymphoid tissue in the skin. Chemotherapy, the use of drugs to kill...
Lymphomas are cancers of the white blood cells called lymphocytes, part of the body's immune system. In lymphoma, the lymphocytes morph into a cancer cell and accumulate in the lymph nodes and lymphatic system, where they crowd out normal...
The lymph system contains small masses called lymph nodes, which are centers for the development and maturation of white blood cells. White blood cells can generally be divided into T-cells and B-cells, with each kind of cell having a distinct...
T-cell lymphoma is actually a group of rare blood cancers, accounting for only about 15 percent of all non-Hodgkin lymphomas in the United States, according to 2008 information from the Lymphoma Research Foundation. Because they are so rare, not...
AML, or acute myeloid leukemia, and lymphoma are cancers of the immune system that develop in blood-forming stem cells produced in bone marrow. According to the National Cancer Institute, these stem cells divide into myeloid cells and lymphoid...
Lymphoma is a general term meaning the transformation of cells from the immune system into cancer cells. There are two main types of lymphoma: Hodgkin's and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Merck Manuals, an online medical library, reports that there are...
According to the National Cancer Institute, lymphoblasts are precursor lymphocytes, which are immature white blood cells that form part of the immune system. Lymphoblasts mature into three types of lymphocytes, B-lymphocytes that make antibodies,...
T-cell lymphomas, categorized as non-Hodgkin's lymphomas, are a group of cancers that affect the T lymphocytes---types of white blood cells that function in cell-mediated immunity. Stem cells in the bone marrow produce T lymphocytes which then...
Lymphoma, cancer of the lymph nodes, includes a number of cancer subtypes. In general, lymphomas occur when the cells of the immune system, called lymphocytes, become mutated and begin to divide uncontrollably, leading to tumors. Lymphomas are...
B cell lymphoma belongs to a group of cancers known as non-Hodgkin's lymphoma---cancers that originate in a specific type of white blood cells known as lymphocytes. Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma originates in both types of lymphoctyes: B cells which...
Non-Hodgkin's Lymphomas (NHLs) are a diverse group of cancers caused by tumors in the body's lymphocytes, or immune system cells. There are many types of NHLs, each of which is classified according to its rate of growth (slow-growing, intermediate...
Lymphoma is the most common type of blood cancer and involves lymphocytes. These are the white blood cells which are a part of the lymphatic system, as well as the blood system. The lymphatic system, also known as the immune system, helps to...
Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, also called non-Hodgkin lymphoma or NHL, is a cancer originating in lymphocytes, which are cells in the immune system. Within NHL, there are two sub-types of lymphomas: T-cell lymphomas and B-cell lymphomas. According to...
T-cell lymphoma is a type of cancer affecting lymph node cells called T-cells. These T-cells are used by the immune system to fight infections. T-cell lymphoma is also sometimes called non-Hodgkin's lymphoma to differentiate it from another type...
Selenium is an essential trace mineral. It primarily functions in the body as a component of antioxidant enzymes. The American Cancer Society says that large observational studies demonstrate that in areas in which soil selenium content is high,...
The University of Maryland Medical Center describes lymphomas as cancers that develop in the lymphatic system. The lymphatic system includes the spleen, bone marrow and lymph nodes, which are tissues and organs that produce, store and carry white...
Lymphoma is a cancer that develops from the cells of the immune system, such as B cells, T cells, or precursor cells that ultimately develop into B or T cells. B and T cells attack germs that invade the body and when the immune system is...
Lymphoma is a cancer that develops in the lymphatic system. Lymphocytes, a type of white blood cell, circulate through the lymphatic system and fight infection. According to the National Cancer Institute, there are two major categories of...
Lymphoma cancers develop in cells of the immune system or in cells of the lymphatic system. They are classified as Hodgkin's or non-Hodgkin's lymphomas and whether they are slow-growing or aggressive. More than 10 different types of non-Hodgkin's...
According to the National Institutes of Health, "lymphoma is cancer of lymph tissue found in the lymph nodes, spleen, liver and bone marrow." Lymphoma is divided into two main types: Hodgkin's disease and non-Hodgkin's disease. In addition,...
Lymphomas are cancers of the lymph system. The lymph system drains excess fluid from cells and it also is where the immune system develops new white blood cells. Lymphomas typically begin as cancers of the lymph nodes and can be very aggressive....
The term lymphoma describes several similar types of cancers that result from malignant growth of lymphocytes, which are specialized cells of the immune system. Cancer results when the lymphocytes either multiply too fast or fail to die when they...
Lymphoma is cancer of the lymphatic system of the body. The lymphatic system produces the cells that fuel the human body's immune system to help fight infections. According to LymphomaInfo.net, because these immune system cells travel through the...
Lymphoma is a broad term for a cancer that begins in the lymphatic system and involves white blood cells of the immune system called lymphocytes. Lymphoma is when a lymphocyte starts multiplying and overtaking healthy cells along with tumors that...
Lymphoma is a cancer of lymphoid cells and tissue. These cancerous cells can originate from different cell types including B-cell and T-cell lymphocytes. More than 60 distinct types of lymphoma derive from two major classifications, Hodgkin's and...
Aggressive follicular lymphomas are a subtype of Non-Hodgkin's Lymphomas, or NHLs. Most follicular lymphomas are indolent and grow slowly. However, they sometimes transform into more aggressive tumors. Follicular lymphomas are the second most...
The causes of the two types of lymphoma, Hodgkin's lymphoma and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, are unclear; however, studies in the past 10 years have demonstrated an association between sun exposure and the risk of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, in particular....
Lymphoma describes the abnormal and uncontrollable growth of lymphocytes---a specific type of white blood cell. Often referred to as cancer of the lymphatic system, which includes the lymph nodes, spleen, thymus and bone marrow, lymphoma also...
Dealing with cancer may make you feel as though you have no control over your health and wellness. Researching alternative methods of treatment is one way some people attempt to take control over their diagnosis. Ginkgo biloba, an herbal...
