Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma is a type of cancer that happens when
cells in your lymph system grow abnormally and out of control.
The cells can form a mass, called a lymphoma. They can also
spread to other parts of your body. Treatment can cure some
people and may allow others to live for years. October 9, 2012
