Lymphoma Symptoms
Lymphoma is a malignant tumor that affects the lymphatic system and cells that are part of the body’s immune system. Lymph circulates through the vessels of the lymphatic system. Lymph cells, called lymphocytes, fight infections in the body by filtering bacteria in the lymph nodes. Also, lymphocytes are found in other lymphoid tissues, for example, in the spleen, red bone marrow, in the skin. Lymphoma occurs, like any cancer, when cells in the body, in this case, lymphocytes, begin to divide uncontrollably. As cells multiply, they collect in lymph nodes or tissues of other organs and form a tumor.
