What would you like to know about B-cell lymphoma?
B-cell lymphoma is a type of blood cancer that develops in B lymphocytes, which are white blood cells that help your immune system fight infections. It's the most common form of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, accounting for about 85% of all cases.
There are more than 70 different types and subtypes of B-cell lymphoma. Some grow quickly (aggressive), while others grow slowly (indolent). The most common type is diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), which makes up about one-third of all non-Hodgkin lymphoma cases.
Other common types include:
* Follicular lymphoma - a slow-growing type
* Marginal zone lymphoma - includes MALT lymphoma, often found in the stomach
* Mantle cell lymphoma
* Burkitt lymphoma - an aggressive type
* Chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma (CLL/SLL)
Treatment options vary depending on the specific type and may include chemotherapy (often R-CHOP), immunotherapy, radiation therapy, targeted drug therapy, or bone marrow transplant.
Is there a specific aspect of B-cell lymphoma you'd like to learn more about, such as symptoms, treatment options, or prognosis?
