Unit Review

Here is what we have learned from this unit:

Lymphoma consists of two main groups of lymphatic disease: Hodgkin lymphoma and the non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL).
Hodgkin lymphoma tends to spread in a fairly orderly way from one group of lymph nodes to the next group.
Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma can spread to almost any part of the body, including the liver, bone marrow, and spleen.
People at risk of developing lymphatic disease include those who have inherited immune deficiency disease, autoimmune disease, and HIV and age and sex are also risk factors.
"B" symptoms for Hodgkin lymphoma include persistent, painless swelling of lymph nodes, and unexplained fevers, tiredness, night sweats, weight loss, and itching.
There are so many forms of NHL involving different organs, signs and symptoms vary, often depending on the areas of the body or systems affected.
Favorable prognostic factors for malignant lymphomas include early diagnosis, young age, and long remission.
Prognostic factors for Hodgkin lymphoma include cell type and presence or absence of "B" symptoms.
Prognostic factors for non-Hodgkin lymphoma include cell type, B symptoms, mass size, age, and extranodal involvement.
