Spotlight on Lymphoma - Understanding Its Types, Causes, Symptoms, Treatment & Prevention

Lymphoma is a type of blood cancer that impacts the lymphatic system, which plays a key role in fighting infections. It occurs when lymphocytes grow uncontrollably, resulting in tumors in the body's lymph nodes and other body parts. The two main categories are Hodgkin's lymphoma and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Typical symptoms include swollen lymph nodes, fever, night sweats, weight loss, and fatigue.

Although the precise reason is unknown, factors like infections, genetics, and compromised immunity may raise the risk. Treatment options include immunotherapy, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and targeted therapy. Because early discovery enhances results, prompt medical attention and awareness are crucial. In this episode of the Lymphoma Podcast, we'll discuss everything about lymphoma—from its causes and symptoms to the treatment process and recovery journey.
