IMMUNOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Lymphoma is a cancer of the lymphatic system, which is part of the body’s germ-fighting network. The lymphatic system includes the lymph nodes (lymph glands), spleen, thymus gland and bone marrow. Lymphoma can affect all those areas as well as other organs throughout the body.

Detailed explanation-2: -Lymphoma is a general term for cancers that start in the lymph system (the tissues and organs that produce, store, and carry white blood cells that fight infections). The two main kinds of lymphoma are-Hodgkin lymphoma, which spreads in an orderly manner from one group of lymph nodes to another.

Detailed explanation-3: -Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL) Is a type of cancer that generally develops in the lymph nodes and lymphatic tissue found in organs such as the stomach, intestines or skin.

Detailed explanation-4: -The most common sites are in the chest, neck, or under the arms. Hodgkin lymphoma most often spreads through the lymph vessels from lymph node to lymph node. Rarely, late in the disease, it can invade the bloodstream and spread to other parts of the body, such as the liver, lungs, and/or bone marrow.

Detailed explanation-5: -Causes of lymphoma Exposure to radiation and certain types of chemicals can put some people at higher risk. Benzene and some agricultural chemicals have been implicated; people exposed in the workplace, who can be at highest risk, should follow occupational health guidelines to minimise exposure.

Detailed explanation-6: -What is lymphoma? Lymphoma is a type of cancer that affects the lymphatic system. Although lymphoma is a serious disease, good treatment options are available. The lymphatic system is made up of a network of tubes (lymph vessels) and glands (lymph nodes) throughout your body.
