  Lymphomas are a group of blood cancers that originate in the lymphatic system. The primary function of this system is to help the body fight infection. Lymphomas occur when lymphocytes change and undergo uncontrolled cell growth, thereby crowding out healthy cells and forming masses and enlarged lymph nodes throughout the body. The 2 main types of lymphoma are Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) and non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). HL is one of the most curable forms of cancer. It occurs when abnormal B cells, called Reed-Sternberg cells, proliferate in the lymphatic system. HL can be classified as 2 different types: (1) classical HL, which accounts for approximately 95% of cases, and (2) nodular lymphocyte-predominant HL. […] Survival rates for lymphoma continue to increase, reflecting the success of new treatment regimens. These rates depend on the type of lymphoma, stage and extent of disease, presence or absence of extranodal disease, and a patient’s age and performance status. For NHL, 1- and 5-year survival rates are 81% and 69%, respectively. Survival rates decline to 58% by 10 years after diagnosis. HL, on the other hand, has a more favorable prognosis. The 1-, 5-, and 10-year survival rates for HL are 92%, 85%, and 80%, respectively.
