What is '"non-Hodgkin's lymphoma" (NHL)?

The best way to describe a lymphoma, in particular is as a cancer of the lymphatic system, or the lymphocytes, which are one particular type of white blood cell. There are non-Hodgkin's lymphomas and there the Hodgkin's lymphomas, and the non-Hodgkin's lymphomas make up the majority of the lymphoma diagnoses in the world. There doesn't seem to be a predilection to kids versus adults in non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. It tends to be seen all across the age groups, very few in young childhood, which make up the majority of the Hodgkin's cases. However, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma doesn't spare the sex. It's as common in males as it is in females. It's common across all age groups. The one wonderful thing about all the lymphomas in general is that they are curable, in addition to being treatable.
