Overview

The lymphatic system is an essential component of our immune system. It has tubes that branch throughout the body. These tubes are known as lymph vessels or lymphatic vessels, and they transport a colorless liquid known as lymph. This fluid flows throughout the body's tissues. It has a high concentration of white blood cells (lymphocytes), which fight infection.

When you have lymphoma, some of your white blood cells (lymphocytes) stop functioning normally. Non-Hodgkin lymphoma is classified into several categories. The kind you have is determined by various things, including the sort of cell it begins in and how quickly it grows.

Lymphoma is classified into two types: Hodgkin lymphoma and non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Non-Hodgkin lymphoma can be either quickly developing (high grade) or slow growing (low grade).
