Hodgkin Lymphoma

Hodgkin lymphoma is a type of cancer that originates from lymphocytes, a type of white blood cell. Once the cancer starts progressing, it disables the body's capability to fight infection.
The treatment for Hodgkin Lymphoma includes chemotherapy, radiation followed rarely by bone marrow transplant.
On a whole, hematologist, radiation oncologist, oncologist, and surgeon treat and cure Hodgkin Lymphoma.
Blood tests, X-ray, CT scan, and positron emission tomography are the required tests that may suggest Hodgkin Lymphoma.
Depending on severity, the one-year survival rate for people diagnosed with Hodgkin Lymphoma is nearly 92 percent whereas the five-year survival rate is about 86 percent.
Fever, night sweats, weight loss, enlarged lymph nodes in the neck, under the arm or the groin are the signs of Hodgkin Lymphoma.
