Lymphoma is a general term for a group of cancers that originate in the lymphatic system. Lymphoma results when a lymphocyte (a type of white blood cell) undergoes a malignant change and begins to multiply, eventually crowding out healthy cells and creating tumors, which enlarge the lymph nodes and other sites in the body.


Signs and Symptoms The most common early sign of non-Hodgkin lymphoma is a painless swelling of a lymph node or nodes, usually in the neck, armpit, groin or abdomen. Other symptoms may include: fever, night sweats, excessive tiredness, indigestion and abdominal pain, loss of appetite, weight loss or bone pain.
