Lymphomas

Lymphomas are cancers of the lymphatic system. There are two main types known as Hodgkin’s and non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma but they have similar symptoms. These include swollen lymph nodes, (often in the neck), sweating, unexplained temperatures, and weight loss.

Tests are likely to include x-rays and blood tests, and a biopsy where a little of the lymph node is removed under general anaesthetic.

Treatment can include radiotherapy and chemotherapy, and, in some cases, bone marrow and stem cell transplants.
