Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma
Symptoms
Generally, early in the
evolution of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, it is characterized by a painless enlargement of lymph nodes. These swollen
lymph nodes sometimes regress spontaneously to reappear later.
Most common symptoms of
non-Hodgkin lymphoma tend to appear in the organs containing lymphoid tissue: neck, armpit or groin areas. As
the disease progresses, however, it can reach all parts of the body. This makes non-Hodgkin lymphoma a multi
symptomatic disease. In addition to swollen lymph nodes, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma can cause the following
conditions:
- fever
- fatigue
- anemia
- nightime sweat
- itchy
skin
- weight loss
- increased risk of infection
- abdominal
pain or swelling
- Chest
pain, often associated with coughing or trouble breathing.
