About Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma About 54,370 new cases of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) will occur this year in the United States. Lymphomas are cancers that begin by the malignant transformation of a lymphocyte in the lymphatic system. The prefix "lymph" indicates their origin in the malignant change of a lymphocyte and the suffix "oma" is derived from the Greek word meaning "tumor". Lymphomas, including Hodgkin lymphoma , result from an acquired injury to the DNA of a lymphocyte. Scientists know that the damage to the DNA occurs after birth and, therefore, is acquired rather than inherited. The change or mutation of DNA in one lymphocyte produces a malignant transformation. This mutation results in the uncontrolled and excessive growth of the lymphocyte, and confers a survival advantage on the malignant lymphocyte and the cells that are formed from its multiplication. The accumulation of these dividing cells results in ...

CATIE Fact SHEET Lymphoma , page 1 of 3 Fact SHEET LYMPHOMA What is lymphoma ? Lymphoma is a term used to described several different cancers that can affect the lymphatic system. In HIV-positive people, lymphoma is linked to immune deficiency. The risk of developing lymphoma seems to increase as the immune system weakens. There are two general types of lymphomas: Hodgkin’s disease and non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL). Although both types can affect people living with HIV, NHL is classified as an AIDS-defining illness. Lymphoma originates in a type of white blood cell called a B-cell. These cells may start to grow rapidly and develop into tumours that can spread in the lymphatic system. The lymphatic system is made up of vessels that branch out into all parts of the body. These vessels carry lymph, a clear, watery fluid that contains the ...

I was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma approximately 3 years ago. It was discovered by myself while shaving. I felt a lump, went to the doctor, had a fine-needle biopsy, CAT scans, and it was identified as indolent non-Hodgkin lymphoma . The treatment options presented to me at the time were to do nothing, just watch and wait, or to actively pursue the disease. I chose with my doctor to pursue it, and the options that were made available to me were radiation or Rituxan ® (Rituximab), which was emphasized, and that is the one that we chose. At that time, I had two enlarged lymph nodes that were identified, and both of them were removed and proved to be non-Hodgkin ...

Sara Kaiser Biochem 118 June 1, 2004 Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma is currently the fifth most common cancer in the United States. For reasons as yet undetermined by scientists, it has become increasingly more common over the last several decades. Fortunately, the future of Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma looks to be promising, as research for new treatments has proved fruitful in the last decade. Lymphoma refers to cancer of the lymphatic system, and is broken up into two types: Hodgkin’s and Non-Hodgkin’s. Hodgkin’s disease is identified by “specific cells - Reed-Sternberg cells - that are not found in any other cancerous lymphomas or cancers” (NHL 1 )Both of these diseases involve a mutation among B lymphocytes – a type of white blood cell - which causes them to divide much more rapidly than normal cells. Unfortunately, it is not currently known what causes this mutation, ...

Lymphomas are B- and T-cell neoplasms that typically result in the enlargement of lymph nodes; however, the spleen, bone marrow and other tissues may also be infiltrated. L YMPH OMA VS L EUKEMIA In general, those neoplasms which predominantly affect lymph nodes or tissues are referred to as lymphomas, and those affecting the bone marrow with circulating neoplastic cells in the blood as leukemias.

IMMUNOBIOLOGY The growth of cutaneousT-cell lymphoma is stimulated by immature dendritic cells Carole L. Berger, Douglas Hanlon, Daniel Kanada, Madhav Dhodapkar, Vivian Lombillo, Nianci Wang, Inger Christensen, Gregory Howe, Jill Crouch, Paul El-Fishawy, and Richard Edelson In the initial stage of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL), proliferating CTCL cells are concentrated in the epidermis in close association with an immature den- dritic cell (DC), the Langerhans cell. Be- cause long-term in vitro culture of CTCL cells has proven difficult, the in vivo association with the major antigen-pre- senting cell (APC) of the epidermis has been postulated to play a role in directly stimulating the clonal T-cell proliferation. We report that CTCL cells can be repro- ducibly grown in culture for 3 months when cocultured with immature DCs. CTCLcells retain ...
