	Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma - oncologychannel
		Lymphomas are cancers of the lymphatic system - the body's blood-filtering tissues that help to fight infection and disease.
		Unlike Hodgkins disease, NHL is comprised of approximately 10 different subtypes (in the Working Formulation) and 20 different disease entities in the Revised European-American Lymphoma Classification (REAL) system.
		Therapy is determined by several factors, including the biologic state of the lymphoma, the stage of lymphoma, the presence or absence of symptoms (e.g., weight loss, night sweats, organ dysfunction), and the overall general health of the patient.

	Lymphoma Information Network - Adult Hodgkin's Disease
		Hodgkin's Lymphoma or Hodgkin's Disease (two terms for the same thing) is a malignant (cancerous) growth of cells in the lymph system.
		Hodgkin's Disease is the better known form of lymphoma (the other lymphomas are grouped into what is called the Non-Hodgkin's Lymphomas).
		The incidence or number of cases of Hodgkin's lymphoma (about 7880 cases, 4330 men and 3550 women in the United States this year) is significant although less than the number of cases of Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (over 53,000 in the US this year).

	ACS :: What Is Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma?
		Lymphomas first start from errors that occur in the DNA of lymphocytes in either the lymph nodes or other lymphoid tissue (such as the spleen or bone marrow) and spread from there.
		In CLL it is mostly in the blood and bone marrow; in SLL lymphoma, it is mainly in the lymph nodes.
		Angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma: This lymphoma tends to occur in the lymph nodes.

	Leukemia & Lymphoma Society - Disease Information - Hodgkin Lymphoma
		Hodgkin lymphoma is distinguished from other types of lymphoma by the presence of one characteristic type of cell, known as the Reed-Sternberg cell (named for the scientists who discovered it).
		Hodgkin lymphoma usually begins in the lymph nodes in one region of the body.
		The most common early sign of Hodgkin lymphoma is a painless swelling of the lymph nodes in the neck, upper chest, interior of the chest, armpit, abdomen or groin.

	Hodgkin's lymphoma - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Hodgkin's lymphoma is characterized clinically by the orderly spread of disease from one lymph node group to another and by the development of B symptoms with advanced disease.
		Hodgkin's lymphoma was one of the first cancers to be rendered curable by combination chemotherapy.
		The cell histology in Hodgkin's lymphoma is not as important as it is in non-Hodgkin's lymphoma: the treatment and prognosis in Hodgkin's lymphoma depend on the stage of disease rather than the histotype.

	Hodgkins Lymphoma PAGE 2.
		Hodgkin's disease is rare before 5 years of age, and in children younger than 10 years of age the incidence is much higher in boys.
		Stage I Hodgkin's disease means the involvement of a single lymph node region or, in the case of stage I(E), extension from that node to an adjacent extralymphatic region.
		Stage IV Hodgkin's disease means there is diffuse or disseminated (multifocal) involvement of one or more extralymphatic organs or tissues with or without associated lymph node enlargement, or isolated extralymphatic organ involvement with distant (nonregional) nodal involvement by spread through the blood stream as opposed to spread by the lymphatics.

	Labels of Hodgkins & Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma
		Hodgkins Disease was named after Thomas Hodgkin (1798-1866) who was an English scholar and physician working at Guy's Hospital in England.
		As there are over 30 different types of lymphoma knowing whether this increase is occurring in all lymphomas or is restricted to a few subtypes may contribute to our understanding of the disease and its cause.
		The Lymphoma Support and Research Association recognises that patients diagnosed with all types of lymphoma have serious diseases, deserve disease specific information and will benefit from a greater public understanding of their illness.

		One explanation is the fact that non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma is a common opportunistic infection among people with AIDS (Berkow, 1997), a disease that was not recognized until the early 1980s.
