	Anaplastic large cell lymphoma : Cancerbackup
		Anaplastic large cell lymphoma is rare, accounting for about 1 in 50 of all cases.
		Anaplastic large cell lymphoma, like other cancers, is not infectious and cannot be passed on to other people.
		New treatments for anaplastic large cell lymphoma are being researched all the time, and you might be invited by your doctor to take part in a clinical trial to compare a new treatment against the best available standard treatment.

	Anaplastic large cell lymphoma - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) is a type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma that features in the World Health Organisation (WHO) classification of lymphomas.
		The hallmark cells are of medium size and feature abundant cytoplasm (which may be clear, amphophilic or eosinophilic), kidney shaped nuclei, and a paranuclear eosinophilic region.
		It is possible that ALK-negative anaplastic large cell lymphomas represent other T-cell lymphomas that are morphologic mimics of ALCL in a final common pathway of disease progression.

		An anaplastic astrocytoma is a high-grade, or malignant, glioma, a tumor of the glial (supportive) tissue of the brain.
		Anaplastic astrocytomas of the cerebral hemispheres and the diencephalon, called supratentorial anaplastic astrocytomas, produce a variety of symptoms as a result of increased pressure within the head, as well as more localizing symptoms as a function of their specific location, rate of growth and associated inflammation.
		Anaplastic astrocytomas are aggressive tumors that infiltrate adjacent normal brain tissue and have a significant tendency to spread outside of the central nervous system.

	What is anaplastic thyroid cancer?
		Anaplastic thyroid cancer usually arises from a site of preexisting papillary thyroid cancer or follicular thyroid cancer.
		Anaplastic thyroid cancer tends to grow very rapidly, replacing the normal tissue of the thyroid gland and spreading to invade and metastasize to other structures in the neck.
		Surgery and external beam radiation therapy may be used to treat cases where aggressive growth of cancer has significantly impaired swallowing or breathing.
