LYMPHOMA
Lymphoma is a sort of cancer involving cells of the protected system, called lymphocytes. As cancer represents numerous different ailment, lymphoma represents many different cancers of lymphocytes—about 35 different subtypes, in fact.
Lymphoma is a collection of cancers that influence the cells that play a function in the immune system, and first and foremost represents cells involved in the lymphatic system of the body.
The lymphatic system is part of the immune system. It consists of a network of vessels that carry a fluid called lymph, alike to the way that the network of blood vessels carry blood all the way through the body. Lymph contains white blood cells called lymphocytes. Lymphocytes attack a variety of infectious agents as well as many cells in the precancerous stages of expansion.
Lymph nodes are small compilation of lymph tissue that occur throughout the body. The lymphatic system engages lymphatic channels that connect thousands of lymph nodes scattered throughout the body. Lymph flows through the lymph nodes, as well as through other lymphatic tissues including the spleen, the tonsils, the bone marrow, and the thymus gland.
These lymph nodes filter the lymph, which may carry microorganisms, viruses, or other microbes. The lymph nodes, or glands as they may be called, filter the lymph, which may on a variety of occasions carry different microbial organisms. At infection sites, large numbers of these microbial organisms collect in the regional nodes and produce the swelling and gentleness typical of a localized infection. These enlarged and occasionally confluent collections of lymph nodes (so-called lymphadenopathy) are often referred to as "swollen glands."
