Lymphatic Tumors
Lymphatic tumors, also known as lymphomas, are cancers that originate in the lymphatic system, which is part of the body's immune system. This system includes lymph nodes, spleen, and other organs that help fight infections. There are two main types of lymphatic tumors: Hodgkin lymphoma and non-Hodgkin lymphoma, each with distinct characteristics and treatment approaches.
Symptoms of lymphatic tumors can include swollen lymph nodes, fever, night sweats, and unexplained weight loss. Diagnosis typically involves imaging tests and a biopsy of affected lymph tissue. Treatment options may include chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and targeted therapies, depending on the type and stage of the tumor.
