Lymphoma is a type of blood cancer that starts in the lymphocytes, which are a kind of white blood cell. Normally, these cells help you fight infections, but cancerous lymphocytes don’t work as they should. They can spread through your lymphatic system—which includes your lymph nodes, thymus, spleen and a network of lymph vessels.
The two main categories of lymphoma cancer are Linfoma no Hodgkin and Hodgkin's lymphoma. According to the National Cancer Institute, non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma makes up about 4% of all cancers; less than 1% of cancers are Hodgkin lymphoma.
