Frequently Asked Questions
The best doctors for Hodgkin lymphoma treatment describe Hodgkin's Lymphoma as cancer that affects the lymphatic system of the body and causes abnormal growth and multiplication of the lymphocyte cells, causing swelling of the lymph nodes in the body as well the development of other tumors growths in the body.
Hodgkin's lymphoma is not a very common cancer when compared to other cancers affecting the blood and the lymphatic system. When it occurs it is more commonly seen in the adolescent age group, i.e., between 14-18 years of age.
The main difference between Hodgkin's Lymphoma and Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma is the presence of a specific type of cell known as the Reed Sternberg Cell that is visible under a microscope when a lab test is done. The presence of a Reed Sternberg Cell makes the lymphoma a Hodgkin's Lymphoma. Hodgkin's lymphomas are easier to treat and manage.
Hodgkin lymphoma symptoms include 

  • Painless swelling of lymph nodes
  • Pain in the swollen lymph nodes after consumption of alcohol
  • Constant tiredness
  • Fever
  • Itchy skin
  • Weight loss, etc.

Specialists for the treatment of Hodgkin lymphoma diagnose the condition based on the symptoms, medical history, a clinical examination to assess the lymph nodes and growths, and investigations such as blood tests, imaging tests such as X-rays, CT/MRI scans, lymph node removal and biopsy, and bone marrow aspiration and biopsy.
The stages of Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) include: 

  • Stage I - in which only one lymph node area or 1 part of an organ outside the lymph node area has HL,
  • Stage II - in which HL is present in 2 or more lymph node areas on only one side of the diaphragm or there is a local extension of the HL into a nearby organ, 
  • Stage III - when HL is found in lymph node areas both above and below the diaphragm, and sometimes in the spleen, and 
  • Stage IV - is when HL has spread to one or more organs such as the liver, bone marrow, or lungs.
