Over the past 40 years, we have moved through numerous classification schemes, which have varied in usefulness. Some schemes were purely morphologic classifications with some clinical implications, such as those based on whether the tumor cells were small, medium, or large lymphocytes (e.g., the Rappaport classification). Others have been more clinically oriented and have encompassed a number of different morphologic types; for example, in the Working Formulation, lymphomas were grouped into low, intermediate, and high grades according to their clinical behavior. High-grade lymphomas included both small-noncleaved-cell lymphomas and large-cell, anaplastic lymphomas. Later, attempts were made to incorporate immunohistochemical and molecular genetic data into the classificat...

What Exactly is Lymphoma?
2008-02-05 20:04:00 Lymphoma is not a single disease, it is in fact a group of diseases in which the cells of the immune system become cancerous and begin to divide and multiply in an uncontrolled manner in a lymph node. Initially a single lymph node may be affected however the cancer may quickly spread around the body through the lymphatic system so that other nodes and also other tissues, such as the bone marrow, become affected.A number of the immune system cell types can become cancerous including the T cells and the B cells which are the body?s two main defense mechanisms against illness and infection. The immune system cells are carried in the blood stream and through the lymphatic system and so the lymphoma cancers can be very mobile and affect areas of the body far from the original cancerous site.The fact that you have swollen lymph glands does not automatically mean you have a lymphoma cancer because there are a number of other diseases which cause the lymph nodes to swell; in fact any diseas...

Leukemias and Lymphomas
2007-05-31 16:36:00 Leukemias and lymphomas are cancers which affect the cells which are part of the fluids circulating around the body. Leukemias affect certain blood cells, particularly the white cells, or "leukocytes" which help fight off infections and disease. And lymphomas are cancers of the lymphatic system, a network of vessels which form part of the body's immune system, and carry other infection-fighting cells called "lymphocytes", as well as draining dead cells away from the tissues. There are several different types of leukemia, classed mainly according to the way the cancer develops, and the variety of white blood cells they affect. There are two principal kinds of lymphoma - Hodgkin's and non-Hodgkin's - the latter is more common, and also slightly harder to treat. Professor Peter Johnson, an expert in lymphomas from the University of Southampton, who carries out work for Cancer Research UK is hopeful that new chemotherapy and radiotherapy techniques will help improve surviv...
