Yes
Hodgkin lymphoma is considered one of the most curable types of lymphoma, particularly when diagnosed early. Treatment typically involves chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or a combination of both, leading to high cure rates. Non-Hodgkin lymphoma can also be curable, but the prognosis varies significantly depending on the specific subtype and individual factors. Early detection and appropriate treatment are crucial for improving outcomes in both types.
Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma describes all lymphomas other than Hodgkin's lymphoma.
no, Reed-Sternberg cells are present in just hodgkin's lymphoma-not non-hodgkin's lymphoma.
Yes, Reed-Sternberg cells are characteristic cells found in Hodgkin's lymphoma. They are large, abnormal lymphocytes that help distinguish Hodgkin's lymphoma from other types of lymphoma. Reed-Sternberg cells play a key role in the diagnosis of Hodgkin's lymphoma.
Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma
Moderate wine drinkers have a reduced risk of getting non-Hodgkin's lymphoma
Early detection. But even late stage hodgkin lymphoma has a good prognosis.
No, her Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma cancer started in her lymph nodes.
Non-Hodgkin lymphoma is not contagious and is not spread but develops endogenously within the body. There were 55,216 cases of non-Hodgkin lymphoma diagnosed in the United States in 2005 (the most recent year for which statistics are available), and in that year, 20,873 people died from non-Hodgkin lymphoma. There is strong evidence from around the world that drinking alcoholic beverages reduces the risk of developing non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
The exact cause of non-Hodgkin's lymphomas is not known.
