Lymphoma
Lymphoma is a cancer that begins in infection-fighting cells of the immune system called lymphocytes. These cells are in the lymph nodes, spleen, thymus, bone marrow, and other parts of the body.
Common Symptoms
- Swollen lymph nodes (painless)
- Fever
- Night sweats
- Weight loss
- Fatigue
