What are non-
Hodgkin’s Lymphomas?
Non-Hodgkin's lymphomas are cancers of the lymphatic system. There are two main types of lymphoma: non-Hodgkin's Lymphomas and Hodgkin's disease.
Lymphoma cells have the ability to spread beyond the original position. They usually spread first to other lymph nodes/ glands in the lymphatic system, but can also enter the bloodstream which carries them to various organs. When the cells reach a new position they may go on dividing and form a new tumour.
