Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma is lymphatic system cancer. The cancer cells originate from lymphocytes (white blood cells). Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma is usually confined to lymph nodes, but it can also spread to other parts of lymphatic system, including lymphatic vessels, tonsils, adenoids, spleen, thymus and bone marrow. Many studies have shown that the disease is associated with pesticide exposure. The most common symptoms include painless progressive superficial lymph nodes enlargement, especially on neck. Treatment includes chemotherapy, radiation therapy and stem cell transplant.
