淋巴瘤是一種起源於淋巴系統的癌症。

何杰金氏症是淋巴瘤的一種，而所有其它種類的淋巴瘤都叫做非何杰金氏淋巴瘤。

淋巴瘤在美國約占了所有癌症患者的約5﹪。

淋巴系統是身體免疫系統的一部份。

它會幫助身體對抗疾病和感染。

淋巴系統包含細小的網路分支，像血管一樣分布在身體中各組織之內。

淋巴管運送淋巴，淋巴是一種無色、水狀液體，其內包含對抗感染的細胞－淋巴球。

淋巴結是一種沿著淋巴系統的淋巴管分布的小器官。

成群的淋巴結位於腋下、鼠膝部、頸部、胸部、腹部和下肢。

其它部分的淋巴系統還包括脾臟、胸腺、扁桃腺和骨髓。

淋巴組織也會分佈在身體其它部位包括胃、腸子與皮膚。

瞭解非何杰金氏淋巴瘤，可幫助我們認識身體最基本的單位細胞如何由正常變成癌症。

癌症是一群超過100種的不同疾病，但是它們有一些重要的共同點。

它們全部由細胞形成。

正常時，當我們身體需要它時它才會分裂產生更多的細胞。

這種有規律的分裂過程可以幫助我們保持健康。

當我們身體不需要新的細胞而細胞卻持續的分裂即形成了一團額外的組織。

這組織就稱為新生物或腫瘤，它可以是良性（不是癌症）或是惡性（是癌症）的。

在非何杰金氏淋巴瘤中，淋巴系統的細胞變成異常的，它們的分裂與生長未受任何的支配或控制，或是老舊的細胞不會如正常細胞一樣死亡。

因為淋巴組織存在身體的許多部位，所以非何杰金氏淋巴瘤可能發生在身體的任何部位。

它可能發生在單獨的淋巴結、一團的淋巴結或其它器官。

這種癌症可能散布到身體的任何部位，包括：肝臟、骨髓及脾臟。

非何杰金氏淋巴瘤的症狀非何杰金氏淋巴瘤最常見的症狀是在頸部、腋下及鼠膝部發現腫大無痛性的淋巴結。

其它可能包括：不明原因的發燒。

夜間盜汗。

持續的疲勞。

不明原因的體重下降。

皮膚搔癢。

皮膚出現紅色斑點。

當有以上症狀出現時，並不表示就是非何杰金氏淋巴瘤的徵象。

它們也可能是其它較不嚴重的疾病引起的，像是感冒或其它感染。

還是得靠醫生去做診斷。

所以當症狀發生時，應該立刻去看醫師，這樣任何疾病才能儘早被診斷及治療。

千萬不要等到感到疼
