Lymphoma is a disorder of the lymphatic system. The lymphatic system consists of lymphoid organs and lymphatic vessels and has a pivotal role in the body’s immune system. The lymphoid organs are lymph nodes, spleen, thymus gland, and bone marrow, where the lymphatic system cells are born, grown, and processed. The lymphatic system cells are lymphocytes, also called the white blood cells, which are of two types; T cells and B cells. In lymphoma, there is an abnormal enlargement (tumor) of the lymphoid organs (particularly lymph nodes) with uncontrolled production of lymphocytes. Lymphomas are quite a common type of neoplasms, mostly malignant (cancerous). They are treated with chemotherapy, radiotherapy, immunotherapy and have different survival rates depending on the types and subtypes.
