Some NHL Subtypes
Slow-growing subtypes of NHL
Follicular
Mucosa-Associated Lymphoid Tissue (MALT)
Small Lymphocytic (SLL)
Waldenström Macroglobulinemia
Cutaneous T-Cell (CTCL)
Diffuse Large B-Cell (DLBC)
Mantle Cell
Burkitt
Anaplastic Large Cell
Peripheral T-Cell (PTCL)
The most common NHL subtype; disease can be in lymph nodes and outside the lymph nodes.
Usually starts in a lymphocyte in the mantle zone of a lymph node; is often widespread at diagnosis.
Usually appears as abdominal masses of lymphoma cells; can also involve marrow, blood and other organs.
Can start in lymph nodes and spread to the skin; can also begin in the skin.
Has many subtypes; usually involves lymph nodes in different areas of the body.
Second most frequent subtype; abnormal lymphoma cells are grouped together throughout the lymph node.
Affects sites outside of the lymph nodes; patients may have been infected with H. pylori.
Involves lymph nodes or lymphatic tissue; may also involve blood and marrow.
Usually diagnosed by a marrow examination; most commonly involves blood and marrow but can affect the lymph nodes, liver or spleen as well as other organs.
Mainly involves the skin and lymph nodes; starts in a T cell.
Fast-growing subtypes of NHL
Ask your doctor to write
down your exact subtype.
Then, detach the card
below and keep it in a
handy place.
Lymphoma is the name for a group of
cancers that develop in the lymphatic
system.
Some types of lymphoma are curable.
Other types can be kept under control
with treatment.There are more than 60 subtypes of NHL.
These subtypes are either “aggressive”
(fast-growing) or “indolent” (slow-growing).
NHL can affect B lymphocytes,
T lymphocytes or NK cells.
A lymphocyte is a type of white blood
cell that is an important part of the body’s
immune system.
NHL generally develops in the lymph
nodes or in lymphatic tissue (for
example in the stomach or intestines).
In some cases, NHL involves the marrow
and the blood.
The two most common NHL subtypes
affect B lymphocytes: diffuse large B-cell
lymphoma and follicular lymphoma.
There are more than 500,000 NHL
survivors in the U.S. (all subtypes combined).
It is the 7th most common type of cancer.
Hodgkin (HL) and non-Hodgkin (NHL) are
the two main subtypes of lymphoma.
Getting an accurate diagnosis is important — your
NHL subtype determines your treatment options.
The names of the subtypes can be
confusing, so ask your doctor to write
down your exact subtype.
Knowing your NHL subtype will help
you talk to your doctor about your lab
and imaging tests and your treatment.
Know Your NHL SubtypeDid you know that being informed about lymphoma gives you some control and may help you cope? Do you know what type of lymphoma you have (your subtype)? Start becoming informed today.
Want more information?
To get more information about your diagnosis and treatment, and to find an expanded list of NHL subtypes, please see the free LLS publication Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma or go online at www.lls.org/resourcecenter.
