What is B-Cell Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL)?
B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) is a type of cancer that originates in B-lymphocytes of the lymphatic system. These cells usually help the body fight infections by producing antibodies. In the NHL, abnormal B-cells multiply uncontrollably and may form tumors in lymph nodes or spread to other organs.
NHL can be broadly classified as:
- Indolent lymphoma is slow-growing and often less aggressive
- Aggressive lymphoma is fast-growing and requiring prompt treatment
Common symptoms of B-Cell NHL include:
- Painless swelling of lymph nodes in the neck, armpit, or groin
- Persistent fever or chills
- Drenching night sweats
- Unexplained weight loss
- Ongoing fatigue and weakness
Treatment depends on the type and stage of lymphoma, as well as the patient's age and overall health. Standard treatment options may include chemotherapy, targeted therapy, radiation therapy, or a combination of these approaches.
