Lymphoma is a type of blood cancer wherein there is an unregulated production of a kind of white blood cells called lymphocytes. These abnormal lymphocytes, instead of undergoing destruction by the body’s auto-correct mechanisms, persist in the body and are deposited in glands called lymph nodes in various parts of the body. What are the types of Lymphoma? Although there are more than 200 sub-types of Lymphoma, the standard way of classifying Lymphoma depends on the actual type of white blood cell, which is overproduced. The first subtype that needs to be determined in Lymphoma is whether it is a Hodgkins or a Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma (NHL). NHL is further subdivided into B or T sub-type and low-grade activity or high-grade activity. The reason for such extensive subtyping is that the treatment protocol, use of targeted therapies and prognosis depends on the exact subtype allowing the oncologist to personalize treatment. What are the symptoms of Lymphoma? Lymphoma is a type of cancer which evolves over a few weeks to months. So the patient’s with Lymphoma usually present with non-specific complaints like weakness, unintentional weight loss (>10% body weight over six months), loss of appetite, evening rise of temperature. Another common presentation is unexplained lumps in the neck, under the armpit region and groin region.

Acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) is a type of cancer of the blood and bone marrow the spongy tissue inside bones where blood cells are made. The word “acute” in acute lymphocytic leukemia comes from the fact that the disease progresses rapidly and creates immature blood cells, rather than mature ones. The word “lymphocytic” in acute lymphocytic leukemia refers to the white blood cells called lymphocytes, which all affects. Acute lymphocytic leukemia is also known as acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Acute lymphocytic leukemia is the most common type of cancer in children, and treatments result in a good chance for a cure. Acute lymphocytic leukemia can also occur in adults, though the chance of a cure is greatly reduced. Symptoms Bleeding from the gums Bone pain Fever Frequent infections Frequent or severe nosebleeds Lumps caused by swollen lymph nodes in and around the neck, armpits, abdomen or groin Pale skin Shortness of breath Weakness, fatigue or a general decrease in energy Causes Acute lymphocytic leukemia occurs when a bone marrow cell develops changes in its genetic material or DNA. A cell’s DNA contains the instructions that tell a cell what to do. Normally, the DNA tells the cell to grow at a set rate and to die at a set time. In acute lymphocytic leukemia, the mutations tell the bone marrow cell to continue growing and dividing. When this happens, blood cell production becomes out of control. The bone marrow produces immature cells that develop into leukemic white blood cells called lymphoblasts. These abnormal cells are unable to function properly, and they can build up and crowd out healthy cells. It’s not clear what causes the DNA mutations that can lead to acute lymphocytic leukemia.
