Answer to Question 1

Answer: More than 90 of cases of lymphomas are non-Hodgkin lymphomas. These types arise in either of two groups of immune cells: B lymphocytes or T lymphocytes. Non-Hodgkin lymphomas can develop at any age, and usually the first signs are enlarged lymph nodes, fever, sweating, and weight loss. Hodgkin lymphoma, also called Hodgkin's disease, is one of the most curable forms of cancer. It typically occurs in people age 15 to 35 or in people over age 50. Hodgkin lymphoma arises in the lymph nodes and can spread to other sites. The earliest sign is usually enlarged lymph nodes, accompanied by sweating, chills, itching, loss of appetite, and weight loss.

 Surgery
