What is Hodgkin's lymphoma?

There are two kinds of lymphoma: Hodgkin disease and Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Hodgkin disease is also called Hodgkin lymphoma, which is named after Dr. Thomas Hodgkin who recognized the disease in 1832. Hodgkin's lymphoma is rare in America. Usual symptoms include painless swelling of the lymph nodes in the neck, armpits, or groin, fever and chills, night sweats, and so on. Hodgkin's lymphoma can be diagnosed by biopsy. Treatment includes radiation therapy or chemotherapy.

How do I know if I have Hodgkin's lymphoma and what are the symptoms of Hodgkin's lymphoma?

Early Hodgkin's lymphoma does not have any symptoms. People may notice one or more of the following symptoms as the tumor developing or when detected by regular examinations:

• Painless swelling of the lymph nodes in the neck, armpits, or groin

• Fever and chills

• Night sweats

• Weight loss

• Loss of appetite

• Itchy skin

Other health problems may also cause these symptoms. Only a doctor can tell for sure. A person with any of these symptoms should tell the doctor so that the problems can be diagnosed and treated as early as possible.
