| non-Hodgkin's lymphoma |
A cancer characterized by uncontrolled proliferation of lymphocytes (usually B cells, but sometimes T cells), NHL can cause tumors in lymph nodes or other organs, such as the spleen, bone marrow, gastrointestinal tract, and brain. It is more likely than Hodgkin's lymphoma to cause disease in sites that are distant from one another. There are several grades of NHL. Treatment is with chemotherapy, radiation, or bone-marrow transplant.
