What Is Lymphoma?

The lymphatic system, which consists of the spleen, bone marrow, thymus gland, and lymph nodes, is where lymphoma starts. According to Dr. Sharat Chandra Goteti, it arises when lymphocytes proliferate uncontrolled and expand improperly.

There are two major types:

Hodgkin Lymphoma (HL)

According to Dr. Sharat Chandra Goteti, Hodgkin lymphoma is detected by Reed-Sternberg cells and is very curable when detected early

Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL)

Non-Hodgkin lymphoma is more prevalent in elderly persons and has several subtypes. According to Dr. Sharat Chandra Goteti’s guidance, treatment varies based on the precise type.
