What are the symptoms of lymphoma?
Low grade lymphomas are mostly present as an anatomic disturbance. The anatomic disturbance caused by lymphoma is a growth of a nodule of some sort. The higher grade lymphomas: the high grade Non-Hodgkin's lymphomas, the Burkett's lymphomas, the fuse large b-cells lymphomas, the Hodgkin's lymphomas, are more aggressive types of lymphoma. When I say a more aggressive lymphoma, I means these lymphomas grow quicker and not only do they grow quicker but as they grow, they outgrow their blood supply and they die quicker, so there's growth and death going on at the same time in these lymphomas. So when you have growth and death going at the same time in a lymphoma, cells die and release their toxins into the blood stream. So what are the symptoms of lymphoma? People with lymphoma get fevers, night sweats and weight loss. So that combination of fevers, night sweats, and weight lose is a standard constitutional symptom of a Non-Hodgkin's or a Hodgkin's Lymphoma.
