Topic Info
Lymphoma is a term for cancers that develop from cells of the lymphatic system, which is part of the body's immune system. These cells, called lymphocytes, are a subset of white blood cells responsible for immunity and fighting infections. Lymphomas first start from errors that occur in the DNA of lymphocytes in either the lymph nodes or other lymphoid tissue. When one of these cells undergoes a transformation into a malignant cell and begins to grow abnormally, lymphoma arises. Dr. James Gaharan, a hematologist/oncologist on staff at Lake Charles Memorial Hospital, discusses non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, which develops from white blood cells in other parts of the lymphatic system, including the bone marrow, spleen, thymus and lymph
nodes.
