Understanding Lymphoma and Its Types

Welcome to the comprehensive guide on lymphoma and its various types provided by Sibel Blau at Salish Cancer Center. As a leading name in the field of cancer care, we aim to provide you with the most reliable and up-to-date information on lymphoma. Understanding this complex disease is the first step towards effective treatment and management.

What is Lymphoma?

Lymphoma is a type of cancer that affects the lymphatic system, which plays a crucial role in our immune system. It occurs when lymphocytes, a type of white blood cell, grow abnormally and form tumors. These tumors can be classified as either Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) or non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), each with its own set of characteristics and subtypes.

Hodgkin Lymphoma (HL)

Hodgkin lymphoma is a rare form of lymphoma, accounting for about 10% of all cases. It typically starts in the lymph nodes located in the neck, chest, armpits, or groin. HL is characterized by the presence of Reed-Sternberg cells, large abnormal cells that help distinguish it from other types of lymphoma.

Common symptoms of Hodgkin lymphoma include swollen lymph nodes, fatigue, unexplained weight loss, night sweats, and itching. Early detection and accurate diagnosis are crucial for effective treatment. At Salish Cancer Center, we offer state-of-the-art diagnostic techniques like biopsies, imaging scans, and blood tests to identify and stage Hodgkin lymphoma.

Treatment Options for Hodgkin Lymphoma

Treatment for Hodgkin lymphoma depends on various factors, including the stage of the disease, age, overall health, and personal preferences. Depending on these factors, your healthcare team at Salish Cancer Center may recommend one or a combination of the following treatment options:

  • Chemotherapy: The use of powerful drugs to kill cancer cells.
  • Radiation therapy: High-energy beams to target and destroy cancer cells.
  • Immunotherapy: Drugs that help boost the body's immune system to fight cancer cells.
  • Stem cell transplantation: Replacement of unhealthy blood-forming cells with healthy ones.

Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL)

Non-Hodgkin lymphoma is a diverse group of lymphomas that differ from Hodgkin lymphoma in terms of their behavior and treatment options. It is more common than HL and can occur at any age. Non-Hodgkin lymphoma originates in the lymphatic system's lymphocytes and can affect various parts of the body.

Some of the common subtypes of non-Hodgkin lymphoma include diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, follicular lymphoma, and mantle cell lymphoma. Each subtype has distinct characteristics, and their treatments may vary. At Salish Cancer Center, our expert oncologists have extensive experience in diagnosing and managing a wide range of non-Hodgkin lymphomas.

Treatment Options for Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma

The treatment approach for non-Hodgkin lymphoma depends on factors such as the subtype, stage, and the patient's overall health. Our dedicated team of specialists may recommend the following treatment options:

  1. Chemotherapy: The use of potent medications to kill cancer cells.
  2. Targeted therapy: Drugs designed to specifically target cancer cells while minimizing damage to healthy cells.
  3. Immunotherapy: Medications that stimulate the body's immune system to destroy cancer cells.
  4. Radiation therapy: High-energy rays used to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors.
  5. Stem cell transplantation: Replacement of unhealthy blood-forming cells with healthy ones.
