Certain forms of lymphoma, such as early-stage Hodgkin’s lymphoma, usually respond well to treatment and therefore have a high cure rate.

Hodgkin Lymphoma vs. Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma

They are both cancers that adversely affect and spread through the body’s lymphatic system, but there are some differences that can affect treatment options.

How Do They Test for Lymphoma?

Testing for lymphatic cancer generally begins with a physical examination, during which your physician will review your medical history and discuss your symptoms. Lymphoma can be confirmed with a biopsy, in which a tissue sample is taken from an affected area of the body for analysis. At Moffitt Cancer Center, we perform several types of biopsies to diagnose lymphatic cancer, including excisional lymph node biopsy, pleural fluid biopsy, bone marrow aspiration and biopsy and image-guided biopsy using CT and ultrasound.

What Does Lymphoma Feel Like?

One common symptom of lymphoma is swollen lymph nodes, which can create visible lumps under the skin, usually in the neck, armpit or groin area. However, there are many types of benign skin lumps, such as cysts and lipomas, which are not necessarily a cause for concern. What’s more, lymph nodes normally become engorged with white blood cells when the body is fighting off an infection, and the swelling generally subsides after the infection clears. But lymph nodes that become noticeably enlarged without an infection should be checked by a physician.

Lymphoma

Lymphoma is the general term for cancer in your lymphatic system — the network of tissues, vessels and organs that help your body fight infections. It’s considered a blood cancer because the condition starts in white blood cells (lymphocytes) in your lymphatic system.
