Hodgkin's Disease
Overview
Hodgkin's Disease, a type of lymphoma, is identified by the presence of Reed-Sternberg cells. Alongside Hodgkin's, there are various other types of lymphoma, collectively known as Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. While Non-Hodgkin lymphoma becomes more prevalent with age, Hodgkin's lymphoma is most commonly diagnosed in individuals aged 16 to 35 and those over 50.
Symptoms and Diagnosis
The hallmark sign of Hodgkin's lymphoma is swollen lymph nodes, particularly in the neck, which are usually not painful. Other symptoms can include unexplained weight loss, persistent fatigue, itchy skin, low-grade fevers, and night sweats. These symptoms can mimic those of many infections, making accurate diagnosis crucial. The most reliable method is through a lymph node biopsy and blood tests.
Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma
Unlike Hodgkin's, Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma is classified as a type of cancer. In the United States, it accounts for about 5% of cancer cases. Symptoms are similar to Hodgkin's but may also include swollen lymph nodes in the underarm and groin, and red patches on the skin.
For accurate diagnosis, Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma may require imaging tests such as X-rays, MRIs, CT scans, PET scans, and lymphangiograms. These tests visualize the lymphatic system using a special dye to distinguish lymph nodes and vessels, and are necessary due to the commonality of these symptoms with less severe conditions.
