Hodgkin lymphoma is a type of cancer that originates in the lymphatic system, specifically affecting a subset of white blood cells called lymphocytes. It is characterized by the presence of Reed-Sternberg cells, which are large, abnormal cells found in lymph nodes. The disease typically presents with symptoms such as swollen lymph nodes, fever, night sweats, and weight loss. Hodgkin lymphoma is generally considered one of the more treatable forms of lymphoma, especially when diagnosed early.
