Detailed explanation-1: -Hodgkin’s lymphoma is a type of cancer that affects the lymphatic system, which is part of the body’s germ-fighting immune system. In Hodgkin’s lymphoma, white blood cells called lymphocytes grow out of control, causing swollen lymph nodes and growths throughout the body.
Detailed explanation-2: -Among 25-to 39-year-olds, breast cancer and thyroid cancer are the most common, based on NCI’s Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Program (SEER) Cancer Stat Facts.
Detailed explanation-3: -Some people feel tired and lethargic with lymphoma. Itching of the skin is also quite common. Some people with Hodgkin lymphoma have other symptoms such as high temperatures, very heavy sweats (especially at night) and unexplained weight loss. Doctors call these symptoms ‘B symptoms’.
Detailed explanation-4: -Unlike most cancers, rates of Hodgkin lymphoma are highest among teens and young adults (ages 15 to 39 years) and again among older adults (ages 75 years or older). White people are more likely than Black people to develop non-Hodgkin lymphoma, and men are more likely than women to develop lymphoma.
