Lymphocytic Lymphoma

Lymphocytic lymphoma is a type of cancer of the lymphatic system in which abnormal lymphocytes, a variety of white blood cell, build up; it is considered closely related to certain slow-progressing leukemias.

Common symptoms: It may present with enlarged, painless nodes, fatigue, night sweats, fever with no apparent cause, or weight loss; in some cases it progresses very gradually.

When to see a doctor? It is advisable to check nodes that enlarge and do not go away, especially if other general symptoms are added.

Which specialist treats it? The hematologist, in coordination with the oncologist, is the one who studies the blood and lymphatic cells. In the face of persistent nodes or symptoms that cannot be explained, the recommended thing is for a professional to carry out a detailed evaluation.
