==[[Lymphoma overview|Overview]]==


==Overview==
==[[Lymphoma historical perspective|Historical Perspective]]==
'''Lymphoma''' is  a type of [[cancer]] that originates in [[lymphocyte]]s (a type of white blood cell in the vertebrate immune system). There are many types of lymphoma. Lymphomas are part of the broad group of diseases called [[Hematological malignancy|hematological neoplasms]].


In the 19th and 20th centuries the affliction was called [[Hodgkin's Disease]], as it was discovered by [[Thomas Hodgkin]] in 1832. Colloquially, lymphoma is broadly categorized as [[Hodgkin's lymphoma]] and [[Non-Hodgkin lymphoma|non-Hodgkin lymphoma]] (all other types of lymphoma). Scientific classification of the types of lymphoma is more detailed.
==[[Lymphoma pathophysiology|Pathophysiology]]==


Although older classifications referred to histiocytic lymphomas, these are recognized in newer classifications as of B, T or NK cell lineage. Histiocytic malignancies are rare and are classified as sarcomas.<ref name="isbn92-832-2411-6">{{cite book |author= |title=Pathology and Genetics of Haemo (World Health Organization Classification of Tumours S.) |publisher=Oxford Univ Pr |location= |year= |pages= |isbn=92-832-2411-6 |oclc= |doi=}}</ref>
==[[Lymphoma epidemiology and demographics|Epidemiology & Demographics]]==


==Prevalence==
==[[Lymphoma risk factors|Risk Factors]]==
According to the U.S. [[National Institutes of Health]], lymphomas account for about five percent of all cases of cancer in the United States, and Hodgkin's lymphoma in particular accounts for less than one percent of all cases of cancer in the United States.


Because the lymphatic system is part of the body's immune system, patients with a weakened immune system, such as from [[HIV]] infection or from certain drugs or medication, also have a higher incidence of lymphoma.

==Classification==
==[[Lymphoma causes|Causes of Lymphoma]]==
===WHO classification===


The '''WHO Classification''' is the latest classification of lymphoma, published by the [[World Health Organization]] in 2001.<ref name="isbn92-832-2411-6">{{cite book |author= |title=Pathology and Genetics of Haemo (World Health Organization Classification of Tumours S.) |publisher=Oxford Univ Pr |location= |year= |pages= |isbn=92-832-2411-6 |oclc= |doi=}}</ref> It was based upon the "Revised European-American Lymphoma classification" (REAL).
==[[Lymphoma differential diagnosis|Differentiating Lymphoma from other Diseases]]==


This classification attempts to classify lymphomas by cell type, i.e. the normal cell type that most closely resembles the tumor. They are classified in three large groups: the [[B cell]] tumors, the [[T cell]] and [[natural killer cell]] tumors, [[Hodgkin lymphoma]], and other minor groups: ([[ICD-O]] codes are provided where available)

== For diagnosis, etiology, staging, prognosis, and treatment ==
Please see separate links to [[Hodgkin's lymphoma]] and [[non-Hodgkin's lymphoma]].
 
== Genetics ==
Enteropathy associated T-cell lymphoma (EATL) is environmentally induced as a result of the consumption of [[Triticeae glutens]]. In gluten sensitive individuals with EATL 68% are homozygotes of the DQB1*02 subtype at the HLA-DQB1 locus (serotype DQ2).<ref name="pmid17470479">{{cite journal |author=Al-Toma A, Verbeek WH, Hadithi M, von Blomberg BM, Mulder CJ |title=Survival in Refractory Coeliac Disease and Enteropathy associated T cell Lymphoma: Retrospective evaluation of single centre experience |journal= |volume= |issue= |pages= |year=2007 |pmid=17470479 |doi=10.1136/gut.2006.114512}}</ref> (See [[Coeliac Disease]], [[HLA-DQ]], [[HLA DR3-DQ2]])
