According to my oncologist at M.D. Anderson Cancer Center, once the mantle cell lymphoma starts to spread it can migrate to the spleen where it causes the spleen to start to identify all B-lymphocytes, not just cancerous ones, as foreign and in need of being eliminated from the blood. When this happens natural immunity is lost and the body becomes subject to opportunistic infections. Death then follows.
