Lymphoma is divided into two broad categories: Hodgkin's disease and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Cancer cells of Hodgkin's disease appear to be certain under the microscope. Hodgkin's disease is described in the summary of PDQ patient information of Hodgkin's disease (adult or child). Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma may also occur in children, and the treatment method differs. (For the treatment of childhood non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, please refer to the summary of PDQ patient information for children with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.) There are many kinds of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Some types spread faster than others. This type depends on the appearance of cancer cells under the microscope. This decision is called histology.
