Dr. Zhang Heyang
Lymphoma may be a type of blood cancer. It is primarily a disease caused by malignant proliferation of lymphocytes within the lymphatic tissue, leading to tumor formation. Lymphoma can be classified into non-Hodgkin lymphoma and Hodgkin lymphoma, and is one of the malignant tumors of the hematologic system. Patients diagnosed with lymphoma are advised to follow standardized treatment under medical guidance to avoid disease progression due to delayed treatment.
