Medical Services Treatment of Hodgkin Lymphoma at Mayo Clinic in Rochester At Mayo Clinic, a team of specialists from several disciplines approaches Hodgkin lymphoma with the goal of destroying as many malignant cells as possible and bringing the disease into remission while effectively managing side effects. Several treatments may be used together to improve the outcome, including chemotherapy, stem cell transplantation and radiation therapy. Hodgkin lymphoma also known as Hodgkin disease is an uncommon cancer of the lymphatic system. The lymphatic system includes the lymph nodes (lymph glands), which are located throughout the body and are connected by small vessels called lymphatics. The spleen, thymus gland, and bone marrow also are part of the lymphatic system and may be involved with Hodgkin lymphoma. In Hodgkin lymphoma, cells in the lymphatic system grow abnormally and may spread beyond the system. As the disease progresses, it compromises the body's ability to fight infection, tumors develop, and

Cancers Hodgkin's Disease Audio File Hodgkin's disease (or Hodgkin's lymphoma) is a cancer of the lymph system, which is part of the body's immune system. In adults, Hodgkin's disease most often occurs people in their 20s, those over age 55 and people with AIDS. In children, Hodgkin's disease rarely occurs to those under age 5. It is more common in males than females. The cause of Hodgkin's disease is unknown, although some experts suspect a virus may be associated with its development. Hodgkin's disease can start in almost any part of the body and can spread to almost any organ or tissue, including the bone marrow (the spongy tissue inside the large bones that makes blood cells). The lymph system is a network that is made up of thin tubes that branch, like blood vessels, into all parts of the body. This network carries lymph, a colorless fluid containing white blood cells called lymphocytes. Along the network are groups of small, bean-shaped organs called lymph nodes. Clusters of lymph nodes are found in the underarm, pelvis, neck, chest and abdomen. Lymph nodes make and store infection-fighting cells. The lymph system also includes the spleen (an organ in the abdomen that makes lymphocytes), the thymus (a small organ beneath the breastbone) and the tonsils (lymph tissue in the throat). The most common symptoms of Hodgkin's disease include painless swelling of the lymph nodes in the upper part of the body, fever, night sweats, fatigue, weight loss and itchy skin.

We hope others will read it as well to learn more about this disease. This booklet discusses symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment. It also has information about resources and sources of support for people with Hodgkin's disease. Cancer research has led to real progress against Hodgkin's disease increased survival rates and improved quality of life. Most people diagnosed with Hodgkin's disease can now be cured, or their disease can be controlled for many years. Continuing research offers hope that, in the future, even more people with this disease will be treated successfully. Each achievement in laboratories and clinics brings researchers closer to the eventual control of Hodgkin's disease.

Site Navigation By a lymphoma survivor: Other Hodgkin's Titles: Adult Hodgkin's Lymphoma (Also called Hodgkin's Disease) Hodgkin's Lymphoma or Hodgkin's Disease (two terms for the same thing) is a malignant (cancerous) growth of cells in the lymph system . Hodgkin's Disease is the better known form of lymphoma (the other lymphomas are grouped into what is called the Non-Hodgkin's Lymphomas The incidence or number of cases of Hodgkin's lymphoma (about 7880 cases, 4330 men and 3550 women in the United States this year) is significant although less than the number of cases of Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (over 53,000 in the US this year). More on Hodgkin's incidence Hodgkin's has a long and rich history . The disease was named after Thomas Hodgkin (1798-1866), a English scholar and Quaker physician working at Guy's Hospital in England. Lymphatic disease was first described in 1666 by Malpighi although it was in Hodgkin's 1832 paper On Some Morbid Appearances of the Absorbent Glands and Spleen that cases of Hodgkin's lymphoma were well documented. Hodgkin's name was attached to the disease in 1865 in a paper by Wilks.

Hodgkin's disease , (also called Hodgkin's lymphoma), is a cancer that starts in lymphatic tissue. Lymphatic tissue includes the lymph nodes and related organs that are part of the body's immune and blood-forming systems. The lymph nodes are small, bean-shaped organs located underneath the skin in the neck, underarm, and groin. Lymph nodes are also found inside the chest, abdomen, and pelvis. Hodgkin's disease is not contagious. You can't "catch" this disease from another person. What are Lymph nodes? Lymph nodes make and store infection-fighting white blood cells, called lymphocytes . They are connected throughout the body by lymph vessels (narrow tubes similar to blood vessels). Lymph vessels carry a clear, watery luid (lymphatic fluid) that contains lymphocytes. Eventually the lymphatic fluid is emptied into the blood vessels in the left upper chest. The lymph nodes are a part of a larger system called the the lymphatic system. The lymphatic system includes the spleen, the bone marrow, and the thymus.

What Is a Gynecologic Oncologist? Oncology Team ABOUT US Healthcommunities.com Pressroom Testimonials Overview Lymphomas are cancers of the lymphatic system - the body's blood-filtering tissues that help to fight infection and disease. Like other cancers, lymphomas occur when cells divide too much and too fast. Growth control is lost, and the lymphatic cells may overcrowd, invade, and destroy lymphoid tissues and metastasize (spread) to other organs. There are two general types of lymphomas: "Hodgkin's Disease" (named after Dr. Thomas Hodgkin, who first recognized it in 1832) and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. The lymphatic tissue in Hodgkin's disease contains specific cells - Reed-Sternberg cells - that are not found in any other cancerous lymphomas or cancers. These cells distinguish Hodgkin's disease (HD) from non-Hodgkin's lymphomas (NHLs). Anatomy The lymphatic system - the target of lymphomas - includes the lymph nodes and other organs that make up the immune and blood-forming (hematopoietic) elements of the body.

KidsHealth Kids Kids' Health Problems Cancer Ethan was feeling down. All of his friends were going to the big game and he couldn't join them. It wasn't because he'd been grounded or because his family had other plans. The problem was more serious than that: Ethan has a type of cancer called Hodgkin's disease. Because Hodgkin's disease affects the body's ability to fight infection, Ethan hasn't been out in crowds for a while. He's only allowed to go to appointments with his doctors and make brief visits to the library. But despite Ethan's disappointment, he knows he can look forward to the future. His support team of doctors, nurses, friends, and family members has helped him come a long way. Soon he'll be able to do all of the cool things he's missed. What Is Hodgkin's Disease? Hodgkin's disease is a type of lymphoma. Lymphoma (say: lim- foh -mah) is cancer of the lymphatic system and is the third most common type of cancer in kids and teens ages 10 to 14. But it is still very rare for kids to get it. The lymphatic system is the system in the body that is responsible for fighting off infections and keeping you healthy. It's made up of your tonsils, spleen, bone marrow, and chains of lymph nodes (rounded masses of tissues found throughout the body). Although many types of cancer can spread to the lymph system, lymphoma actually begins in the cells of the lymph system itself.

KidsHealth Teens One day while shaving, Justin noticed a lump on the side of his neck. He didn't think much of it at first, assuming it would go away. But after a week, the lump was still there, so Justin went to see the doctor. Justin was a little surprised at the questions his doctor asked. Had Justin lost weight? Was he easily tired? Did he ever get night sweats? As Justin answered yes to these questions, he wondered what they had to do with the lump on his neck. The doctor explained that the lump was a swollen lymph node and that he wanted to monitor it closely. He prescribed antibiotics because swollen lymph nodes are often caused by infections. But when the medicine did not decrease the swelling in the lymph node, Justin's doctor recommended some tests. The doctor told Justin and his mother that the test was necessary to check for disease, including lymphoma. What Is Hodgkin's Disease?
