Lymphoma Cancer

The two most common types of lymphomas are:

• Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL): It is known as Hodgkin's disease and often develops in lymph nodes in the armpits, neck, or region of the lungs. Although Hodgkin's lymphoma can start at any age, it tends to affect people over 55 and young adults. The types of Hodgkin’s lymphoma are lymphocyte-depleted Hodgkin’s disease, lymphocyte-rich Hodgkin’s disease, nodular lymphocyte-predominant Hodgkin’s disease, mixed cellularity Hodgkin’s lymphoma, and nodular sclerosis Hodgkin’s lymphoma.
• Non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL).: People can get NHL at any age, but the risk increases as you age. Half of the people newly diagnosed with NHL are 65 or older. NHL is more common than HL and may affect lymph nodes in the stomach or groin. The types of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma are B-cell lymphoma, T-cell lymphoma, Burkitt’s lymphoma, follicular lymphoma, mantle cell lymphoma, small lymphocytic lymphoma, Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia (lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma), and primary mediastinal B cell lymphoma.
