淋巴瘤是一种在淋巴系统中发展的癌症 - 产生，储存和携带白细胞的组织和器官。淋巴瘤发生在白细胞，称为淋巴细胞，突变并脱离对照时发生。
There are two types of lymphoma: Hodgkin’s lymphoma and non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL).
Hodgkin's lymphoma develops in white blood cells and usually contains Reed-Sternberg cells, a specific type of large cancer cell. Hodgkin’s lymphoma is divided into two types: Classical Hodgkin’s lymphoma (95% of cases) and nodular lymphocyte-predominant Hodgkin lymphoma (5% of cases). Most patients with Hodgkin lymphoma can be treated successfully.
All other lymphomas are non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. They develop in other parts of the lymphatic system, including the bone marrow, spleen, thymus and lymph nodes. Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma is divided into three types by cell: B-cell (85% of cases), T-cell (less than 15% of cases), and NK-cell. Burkitt lymphoma (B-cell) is the fastest growing human tumor and rapidly fatal if left untreated. Follicular lymphoma (B-cell) is slow-growing and, though not considered curable, patients can live for many years with it. Mantle cell lymphoma (B-cell) is aggressive and rare, occurring in the outer rim or mantle lymphoid follicle.
Leukemiaand lymphoma are both forms of blood cancer. The main difference is that leukemia affects the blood and bone marrow, while lymphoma affects the lymph nodes. Some symptoms of the two cancers are similar, such as fatigue and fever. With leukemia, patients tend to bruise easily and bleed more than normal. With lymphoma, patients tend to have swollen lymph nodes and itchy skin.
淋巴瘤可以在儿童，青少年和成年人中发生，男人比妇女更有可能发展疾病。非霍奇金的淋巴瘤比霍奇金的淋巴瘤更常见。非霍奇金淋巴瘤是美国第六次常见的癌症，而霍奇金的淋巴瘤仅占所有癌症的1％。
Hodgkin的淋巴瘤是最具可治愈的癌症类型之一。这是成年早期最常见的，年龄在55岁之后，年末到30岁，年代已故的成年晚55岁。美国癌症协会估计今年将诊断霍奇金淋巴瘤的8,110人。
非霍奇金淋巴瘤的预后不同its type and stage. It’s more common in Caucasians, with most people being diagnosed older than age 60. The American Cancer Society estimates more than 74,000 people will be diagnosed this year with the disease.

霍奇金淋巴瘤和非霍奇金淋巴瘤的症状通常可以被忽视，因为它们镜像感冒或流感。但是，这些症状不会消失。如果您遇到发烧的症状，疲劳，胃痛，咳嗽和肿胀的淋巴结超过几周，您应该与您的医生交谈。
