All About Lymphoma

What is Lymphoma?

Lymphoma is a cancer that starts in the immune system’s infection-fighting cells called lymphocytes. The lymph nodes, spleen, thymus, bone marrow, and other areas of the body contain these cells. Lymphoma leads lymphocytes to change and increase out of control.
