Lymphoma
Lymphoma is a class of blood cancers, falling into two broad categories: Hodgkin and Non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Though they differ in the biology of the cancer, both have the potential to spread to other tissues.

Hodgkin Lymphoma
Hodgkin lymphoma is a rare cancer known in the past as Hodgkin's Disease that accounts for less than 1% of all cancer cases in the United States. Hodgkin lymphoma develops from B lymphocytes, a type of white blood cell that normally produces proteins called antibodies that fight infection. Lymphocytes can be found in lymphoid tissue, which can be found throughout the body, in the lymph nodes, bone marrow, spleen, thymus, and digestive tract.

Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma
Lymphoma begins in the lymphocytes, which are normal cells that are a part of the immune system. These normal cells are transported throughout the body by the lymphatics, a system of small vessels that usually are found close to normal blood vessels. Lymph nodes are normal small collections of lymphocytes that are found in the center of the chest, under the arms, in the neck, in the abdomen, and in the groin.

Mantle Cell Lymphoma
Mantle cell lymphoma is a rare form of non-Hodgkin lymphoma that makes up about 5% of all lymphoma diagnoses. Mantle cell lymphoma develops from B lymphocytes, which are cells in the lymphoid tissue that make antibodies and protect against germs and infection. Mantle cell lymphoma specifically affects B lymphocytes in the mantle zone, which is an area on the edges of lymph node follicles.

Childhood Lymphoma
Lymphoma is the third most common cancer in children, after brain tumors and leukemia. Lymphoma begins in the lymphocytes.

AIDS-related lymphoma is a disease in which malignant cancer cells are identified in a patient that has AIDS. AIDS-related lymphoma affects the part of the immune system known as the lymph system,
