Hodgkin's disease is a type of lymphoma (a cancer that develops in the lymphatic system). Hodgkin's disease affects white blood cells, which help the body fight disease.

All other lymphomas are grouped together and are called non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. They develop in other parts of the disease-fighting lymphatic system, including the bone marrow, spleen, thymus and lymph nodes.
