Lymphoma is a general term for cancers that develop in the lymphatic system (the tissues and organs that produce, store and carry white blood cells).
- Hodgkin's disease is one type of lymphoma. It develops in white blood cells, which help the body fight disease.
- All other lymphomas are grouped together and are called non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL). They develop in other parts of the lymphatic system, including the bone marrow, spleen, thymus and lymph nodes.
This website includes news, information, links and resources for non-Hodgkin's lymphoma patients.
