Lymphomas

Also known as:  Lymph Cancer;  Lymphatic Cancer

Lymphomas are malignant tumors occurring within the Lymphatic System.

 Overall, Lymphomas are the fifth most common type of Cancer to affect men and the sixth most common type of Cancer to affect women.  The incidence of (Non-Hodgkin’s) Lymphomas is increasing at a faster rate than any other type of Cancer except Melanomas.
