Lymphoma is a type of cancer that originates in cells of the body’s immune system. There are many different types of lymphoma, including Hodgkin's Disease, Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma and many others. The signs and symptoms of lymphoma are nonspecific, and if persistent, warrant a more detailed medical evaluations. Such symptoms generally include fever, night sweats and weight loss. Besides these symptoms, other indications also exist, including loss of appetite and fatigue.

The different treatment options vary depending on the extent of the cancer as well as its classification. One of the most common treatments uses radiation to kill the cancerous cells. Though effective, this treatment may cause side effects for the patient. Other forms of treatment include the use of chemicals to treat the cancer. This is known as chemotherapy. In some cases, surgery may also be recommended to treat the cancer. Steps may also be taken to reduce the risk of getting Lymphoma, by eating a healthy diet and getting plenty of exercise.

Conditions

"Condition" is a general term for particular abnormal diseases that negatively affect a part or all of the body. Conditions are not due to any external injury. Therefore, a broken bone does not classify as a condition, whereas Herpes, OCD, Shingles, and Ulcers do.

Medical conditions are classified by specific symptoms and signs. While each person's experiences can vary, there are consistent signs and symptoms that doctors will look for when diagnosing their patients. We always recommend that people seek a professional diagnosis. Afterward, supplement medical advice and opinion with accurate and easy to read information.

Most people only spend an average of a couple minutes with their doctor during a checkup. Oftentimes patients don't receive the fullest explanation of their diagnosis.
