	www.patientcenters.com -- Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma Center -- What are the NHLs?
		Lymphomas and leukemias are cancers of white blood cells at various stages of maturation.
		One subtype of NHL, anaplastic large-cell lymphoma (ALCL), resembles one subtype of Hodgkin's lymphoma, lymphocyte-depleted Hodgkin's lymphoma (LDHL).
		For years, the Rappaport and Ann Arbor systems used for Hodgkin's lymphoma, and the Working Group and Kiel systems, were adapted to describe NHL in a way that attempted to reflect tumor characteristics, and thus to some degree prognosis, but none was entirely satisfactory.

	Learn About Lymphoma
		Lymphomas are cancers of the cells and tissues of the body's defense system.
		The final diagnosis of any cancer, including lymphoma, is made from the microscopic examination of cells or tissue (a collection of cells) taken from a part of the body where the disease is thought to be present.
		Lymphomas are divided into two major groups, the Hodgkin's lymphomas and the non-Hodgkin's lymphomas.

	What Is Adult Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma
		Stage I adult non-Hodgkin's lymphoma is divided into stage I and stage IE ("E" stands for extranodal and means that the cancer is found in an organ or tissue other than the lymph nodes).
		Noncontiguous lymphomas: Lymphomas in which the lymph nodes containing cancer are not next to each other, but are on the same side of the diaphragm (the thin muscle below the lungs that helps breathing and separates the chest from the abdomen).
		To treat certain types of adult non-Hodgkin's lymphoma that spread to the brain, CNS prophylaxis (chemotherapy given to kill cancer cells in the brain or spinal cord) may be used.

	ACS :: Treatment of Extranodal Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma
		Surgery alone, without the addition of chemotherapy or radiation therapy, is sometimes used to treat lymphomas of extranodal internal organs such as thyroid, salivary glands, or stomach that are still confined to the organs where they started.
		Remarkably, even after some of these lymphomas in the stomach are fully developed, treating the infection with antibiotics can cause the lymphoma to shrink or even completely disappear.
		Lymphomas beginning in the brain and spinal cord are called primary CNS lymphomas.

		Follicular lymphoma comprises 20% of all non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas and as many as 70% of the indolent lymphomas reported in American and European clinical trials.[7,8,11] Most patients with follicular lymphoma are 50 years and older and present with widespread disease at diagnosis.
		Lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma is usually associated with a monoclonal serum paraprotein of immunoglobulin M type (Waldenström’s macroglobulinemia).[20,21,22] Most patients have bone marrow, lymph node, and splenic involvement, and some patients may develop hyperviscosity syndrome.
		Splenic marginal zone lymphoma is an indolent lymphoma that is marked by massive splenomegaly and peripheral blood and bone marrow involvement, usually without adenopathy.[64,65] This type of lymphoma is otherwise known as splenic lymphoma with villous lymphocytes, an uncommon variant of B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

		Most people with non-Hodgkin lymphoma have no known risk factors, and there is no way to prevent their lymphomas from developing.
		Preventing the spread of the human T-cell leukemia/lymphoma virus (HTLV-1) could have a great impact on non-Hodgkin lymphoma prevention in areas of the world where this virus is common, such as Japan and the Caribbean region.
		The recent discovery of the connection between Helicobacter pylori infection and primary gastric lymphomas offers a potential opportunity for prevention, but the benefit of this strategy has not been proven yet.
