Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma treatment in Magdalena Contreras

Non-Hodgkin lymphoma groups together a set of cancers that originate in the lymphocytes, a type of cell of the defense system, and that mainly affect the lymph nodes and other tissues of the immune system. There are many variants with different behaviors.

Manifestations worth checking: enlarged, painless nodes in the neck, armpits, or groin, fever with no clear cause, night sweats, fatigue, or unintended weight loss.

Specialized care: the hematologist and the oncologist are the professionals who study and follow up on this group of diseases; in children their pediatric counterparts take part. If persistent nodes or other general signs are noticed, the recommended thing is for a professional to evaluate the case to guide the workup.
