Which is true of Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL) arising above the diaphragm? Lacks Reed-Sternberg cells Causes frequent B symptoms Presence of natural killer cells Arises in solid organs outside the lymphatic system

Cell of origin WHO and REAL have classified non-Hodgkin's lymphoma on the cell of origin. Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma can arise from B cells, T cells, or natural killer cells.
In which body part does Hodgkin's lymphoma typically begin? Liver Spleen Cervical lymph nodes Inguinal lymph nodes
Cervical lymph nodes Hodgkin's lymphoma typically begins in one cervical lymph node or group of cervical lymph nodes.
Which describes lymph nodes in non-Hodgkin's lymphoma? Enlarged and moveable Enlarged and immoveable Smaller than normal and moveable Smaller than normal and immoveable
Enlarged and moveable The lymph nodes in non-Hodgkin's lymphoma are enlarged and moveable. They can be found in a single region of the body or spread throughout the body.

Hodgkin's
Which characteristics accurately describe the clinical manifestations of Hodgkin's lymphoma? Insidious onset Cough and dyspnea Painful, movable lymph nodes Possible progression to extranodal involvement Initial enlarged lymph nodes felt below diaphragm
Insidious onset Hodgkin's lymphoma has an insidious onset, meaning it comes on slowly.

Possible progression to extranodal involvement In the later stages of the disease, Hodgkin's lymphoma may progress to extranodal involvement, such as spreading to the liver.
Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma Presence of B symptoms (fever, night sweats, weight loss)
May be present in a high-grade or (more severe) form of the disease.
Hodgkin's Lymphoma Extranodal involvement
May spread outside the lymphatic system to solid organs.
which lymphoma is more common
Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) is more common than Hodgkin's lymphoma. It is associated with aging and the use of immunosuppressant medications.
Which factors increase the likelihood of developing non-Hodgkin's lymphoma? Over age 60 HIV infection Female gender Epstein-Barr virus Immunosuppressant drugs
Over age 60 People over age 60 are more prone to developing non-Hodgkin's lymphoma than younger people. HIV infection HIV infection lowers the immune response, which increases the likelihood of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma arising. Epstein-Barr virus Infection with the Epstein-Barr virus increases the likelihood of developing non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Immunosuppressant drugs mmunosuppressant drugs suppress the immune system, making non-Hodgkin's lymphoma more likely.
