Lymphoma
Lymphoma is a cancer of the lymphatic system, the body's disease-fighting network.
The lymphatic system includes the lymph nodes (lymph glands), spleen, thymus gland and bone marrow. Lymphoma can affect all those areas as well as other organs throughout the body.

The Lymphoma Group at Mayo Clinic evaluates and treats patients with types of lymphoma, including:
