Overview of T-cell lymphoma

Lymphoma is the most common blood cancer and the third most common cancer of childhood. It is a cancer of lymphocytes that constitute the lymphatic system. Lymphoma occurs when lymphocytes grow abnormally. The two main types of lymphoma are Hodgkin's lymphoma and non-Hodgkin lymphoma. The body has two types of lymphocytes: B lymphocytes, or B-cells, and T lymphocytes, or T-cells. B-cells play an important role in making antibodies to fight bacterial infections and T-cells play a role in fighting viruses and organ rejection in transplant patients. Although both cell types can develop into lymphomas, B-cell lymphomas are more common, comprising nearly 85 percent of all non-Hodgkin lymphomas. Like normal lymphocytes, those that become malignant can grow in any part of the body, including the lymph nodes, spleen, bone marrow, blood or other organs. T-cell lymphoma is a rare disease in which T lymphocyte cells become cancerous.fatigue; skin rash; and enlarged lymph nodes in the neck, armpit and groin.
