Lymphoma is a cancer of white blood cells called "lymphocytes." Normally, lymphocytes help fight infections, but in lymphoma, these cells become abnormal, grow uncontrollably, and spread throughout the body. They often gather in lymph nodes, causing them to swell, and can also affect other parts of the lymphatic system, such as the spleen.</p><p><b>What are the symptoms of Hodgkin lymphoma?</b></p><p>The first symptom of Hodgkin lymphoma is often a swollen, painless lymph node in the neck. Other swollen lymph nodes may appear above the collarbone, in the armpit, or in the groin. If lymph nodes deeper in the body swell, they can cause symptoms like a cough, trouble breathing, or chest pain.</p><p>Other possible symptoms include:</p><ul><li><p>Fever</p></li><li><p>Weight loss</p></li><li><p>Drenching sweats</p></li></ul><p><b>Is there a test for Hodgkin lymphoma?</b></p><p>Yes. The doctor will talk with you, do an exam, and perform tests, which may include:</p><ul><li><p>Blood tests</p></li><li><p>Lymph node biopsy: A doctor removes one swollen lymph node and examines it under a microscope to check for lymphoma cells.</p></li></ul><p><b>What is lymphoma staging?</b></p><p>Lymphoma staging is used to determine how far the lymphoma has spread in the body. Hodgkin lymphoma usually starts in lymph nodes in the neck or chest. If it spreads, it typically moves to nearby lymph nodes, then to organs like the spleen or liver.</p><p>To check how far the lymphoma has spread, your doctor will do an exam, blood tests, and imaging tests like CT or PET scans. These tests create pictures of the inside of the body. Your doctor may also perform a bone marrow biopsy, where a small sample of bone marrow is taken to check for cancer cells.</p><p>The right treatment for you depends on the stage of your lymphoma.</p><p><b>How is Hodgkin lymphoma treated?</b></p><p>Treatment options include:</p><ul><li><p><b>Chemotherapy</b>: Medicines that kill cancer cells or stop them from growing. Your doctor will choose the right chemotherapy for you.</p></li><li><p><b>Radiation therapy</b>: This treatment uses radiation to kill cancer cells and is sometimes combined with chemotherapy.</p></li></ul><p>If the lymphoma does not improve with treatment or comes back, a bone marrow transplant, also known as a "stem cell transplant," may be recommended.</p><p>In most cases, the correct treatment can cure Hodgkin lymphoma.</p><p></p></div></div></div></div></div></div><div class="subscribe-area"><div class="container"><div class="row align-items-center"><div
