A lymphoma is a cancer that develops in the lymphatic system.

The most common symptom of non-Hodgkin lymphomas is a painless swelling in the lymph nodes in the neck, underarm, or groin.

Non-Hodgkin lymphomas are diagnosed with a biopsy of an enlarged lymph node.

Follow-up examinations are important after lymphoma treatment.

Most relapses occur in the first 2 years after therapy
