Nodular lymphocyte predominant Hodgkin lymphoma (NLPHL) is a rare type of lymphoma that affects a part of the immune system called the lymph nodes. It is a slow-growing cancer that starts in B cells, a type of white blood cell that helps the body fight infections. The World Health Organization recommends the term “nodular lymphocyte …

Reed-Sternberg cells are a specific type of abnormal cell found in certain cancers. These cells are large, with a distinctive appearance under the microscope, and they play an important role in the diagnosis of a cancer called Hodgkin lymphoma. Reed-Sternberg cells are believed to be derived from a white blood cell type known as a …

Classic Hodgkin lymphoma (CHL) is a type of cancer that starts in the lymph nodes, which are part of the body’s immune system. It involves a specific type of cell called the Reed-Sternberg cell, which is abnormal and larger than normal lymphocytes (a type of white blood cell). This type of cancer is known for …

Nodular lymphocyte predominant B cell lymphoma (NLPBCL) is a rare type of lymphoma that affects a part of the immune system called the lymph nodes. It is a slow-growing cancer that starts in B cells, a type of white blood cell that helps the body fight infections. The International Consensus Classification recommends the term “nodular …

The Hans algorithm is a tool used by pathologists to classify diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) into different subtypes based on the expression of specific proteins in the cancer cells. DLBCL is the most common type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, and it can be divided into two main subtypes: germinal center B-cell-like (GCB) and activated …

B-lymphoblastic lymphoma (B-LBL) is a rare and aggressive form of non-Hodgkin lymphoma that starts from immature B cells, a type of white blood cell that helps the body fight infections.It is closely related to B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL). The two conditions are part of the same disease spectrum and differ mainly in where the …

Lymphoblastic lymphoma is a rare type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma that primarily affects lymphocytes, a type of white blood cell crucial for the immune system. It is similar to acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) in terms of the cells it involves and its aggressive nature, but while ALL primarily affects the bone marrow and blood, lymphoblastic lymphoma …

High grade B cell lymphoma with MYC and BCL2 rearrangements is a type of cancer that starts in white blood cells called B cells. These cells are part of the immune system and help protect your body from infections and diseases. “High grade” means that this type of cancer is likely to grow and spread …
