Your lymph system consists of lymph vessels and nodes responsible for circulating lymph fluid throughout the body. The lymph system per se is a protective system that consists of white blood cells that fight infection. However, lymph cells, which are also known as lymphocytes, can be cancerous. In this article, we will talk in brief about some of the common kinds of lymphomas.

• Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma
  Many lymphomas fall under this category. Doctors segregate non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma by the cells they affect. These cells could be slow-growing or fast-growing. There are two types of cells that the non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma affects – T-Cells and the B-Cells. Most kinds of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma affect the B-Cells.
• Follicular Lymphoma
  It is a common type of lymphoma, which is slow-growing as well as indolent. It accounts for approximately twenty percent of lymphoma cases in the United States. Common symptoms include – night sweats, fatigue, weight loss, and swollen lymph nodes. It mainly affects older or middle-aged adults. The treatment options include radiation therapy, targeted therapy, and chemotherapy.
• B-Cell Lymphomas
  It is one of the most common types of lymphoma. So much so that B-Cell Lymphomas account for more than 85 percent of non-Hodgkin’s Lymphomas. This type of Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma diffuses in the large B cell, which is also abbreviated as DLBCL. Though a fast-growing type of Noon Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, it is very treatable. Another mediastinal B-cell lymphoma follows B Cell Lymphoma.
• Lymphocyte-rich Hodgkin’s Disease
  This is more common in men than in women. Lymphocyte-rich Hodgkin’s disease is diagnosed at an early stage, and both RS Cells and lymphocytes are depicted in the diagnostic tests conducted. This kind of Lymphoma accounts for approximately five percent of all Hodgkin’s lymphoma cases.
• Marginal Zone Lymphomas
  Marginal Zone Lymphoma is a slow-growing kind of lymphoma. It circulates in the spleen and forms in the matured B cells. You may be prescribed antibiotics if the disease has arisen out of infection. Other treatment options include surgery, chemotherapy. This type of lymphoma accounts for about ten percent of all lymphoma cases.
• Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma
  It is a slow-growing lymphoma. The lymphocytes of cancer cells of Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma are found in the lymph nodes. It is quite identical to chronic lymphocytic leukemia or CLL, but here the difference is that most of lymphocytes are found in the bone and the blood marrow.

The survival rate of a kind of lymphoma depends on how far the lymphocytes or cancerous cells have spread and what is the type of lymphoma. For instance, as per the American Cancer Society (ACS), the cumulative five-year rate of survival for Non-Hodgkin’s type of lymphoma patients is 70 percent.
