Leukemia & Lymphoma Facts
Leukemia and Lymphoma are often linked together because they are both cancers that are not associated with a tumor. Lymphomas are cancers that affect the lymph system and start in cells called lymphocytes. Leukemia is a cancer of the early blood-forming tissues, including your bone marrow and lymph system.1
There are two main types of Lymphoma:
- Hodgkin: starts in the B lymphocytes (B cells) of the lymph system (helps fight infection and controls fluids), commonly in the lymph nodes in the upper part of the body and spreads from node to node.
- Non-Hodgkin (NHL): starts in the lymphocytes anywhere lymph tissue is found: lymph nodes, spleen, bone marrow, thymus, adenoids and tonsils, or the digestive tract.
Types of Leukemia
There are several types of leukemia, which are divided based mainly on whether the leukemia is acute (fast-growing) or chronic (slower growing), and whether it starts in myeloid cells or lymphoid cells.2
- Acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL)
- Acute myelogenous leukemia (AML)
- Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL)
- Chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML)
