What is non-Hodgkin lymphoma?
Lymphoma means cancer of the lymphatic system.

The lymphatic system is a system of thin tubes and lymph nodes that run throughout the body. Lymph nodes are bean shaped glands. The thin tubes are called lymph vessels or lymphatic vessels. Tissue fluid called lymph circulates around the body in these vessels and flows through the lymph nodes.

The lymphatic system is an important part of our immune system. It plays a role in fighting bacteria and other infections. And it tries to destroy old or abnormal cells, such as cancer cells.
