Description and Extensions

Description
NCI2016_NICHD_1602D:A malignant neoplasm of the lymphatic system that is comprised of abnormal lymphocytes.|NCI2016_NCI-GLOSS_1602D:Cancer that begins in cells of the immune system. There are two basic categories of lymphomas. One kind is Hodgkin lymphoma, which is marked by the presence of a type of cell called the Reed-Sternberg cell. The other category is non-Hodgkin lymphomas, which includes a large, diverse group of cancers of immune system cells. Non-Hodgkin lymphomas can be further divided into cancers that have an indolent (slow-growing) course and those that have an aggressive (fast-growing) course. These subtypes behave and respond to treatment differently. Both Hodgkin and non-Hodgkin lymphomas can occur in children and adults, and prognosis and treatment depend on the stage and the type of cancer.|NCI2016_CDISC_1602D:A malignant neoplasm composed of lymphocytes of B- or T/NK-cell phenotype.|NCI2016_02D:A malignant (clonal) proliferation of B- lymphocytes or T- lymphocytes which involves the lymph nodes, bone marrow and/or extranodal sites. This category includes Non-Hodgkin lymphomas and Hodgkin lymphomas.|MSH2017_2016_08_12:A general term for various neoplastic diseases of the lymphoid tissue.|MEDLINEPLUS_20151021:<p>Lymphoma is a cancer of a part of the immune system called the lymph system. There are many types of lymphoma. One type is <a href='https://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/hodgkindisease.html'>Hodgkin disease</a>. The rest are called non-Hodgkin lymphomas.</p> <p>Non-Hodgkin lymphomas begin when a type of white blood cell, called a T cell or B cell, becomes abnormal. The cell divides again and again, making more and more abnormal cells. These abnormal cells can spread to almost any other part of the body. Most of the time, doctors don't know why a person gets non-Hodgkin lymphoma. You are at increased risk if you have a weakened immune system or have certain types of infections.</p> <p>Non-Hodgkin lymphoma can cause many symptoms, such as </p> <ul> <li>Swollen, painless lymph nodes in the neck, armpits or groin</li> <li>Unexplained weight loss </li> <li>Fever </li> <li>Soaking night sweats </li> <li>Coughing, trouble breathing or chest pain </li> <li>Weakness and tiredness that don't go away </li> <li>Pain, swelling or a feeling of fullness in the abdomen </li> </ul> <p>Your doctor will diagnose lymphoma with a physical exam, blood tests, a chest x-ray, and a biopsy. Treatments include chemotherapy, radiation therapy, targeted therapy, biological therapy, or therapy to remove proteins from the blood. Targeted therapy uses substances that attack cancer cells without harming normal cells. Biologic therapy boosts your body's own ability to fight cancer. If you don't have symptoms, you may not need treatment right away. This is called watchful waiting.</p> <p >NIH: National Cancer Institute</p>|HPO2016_07_04:A cancer originating in lymphocytes and presenting as a solid tumor of lymhpoid cells. [HPO:probinson]|CSP2006:malignant (clonal) proliferation of B- or T- lymphocytes which involves the lymph nodes, bone marrow and/or extranodal sites; general term for various neoplastic diseases of the lymphoid tissue.
