Cancers that originate in the lymphatic system (also called the body's immune system) are called lymphomas. In part, the lymphatic system is composed of lymph nodes, which are small, spherical clusters of lymphocytes, or white blood cells. In a healthy immune system, lymphocytes have a normal cycle of life-they are produced regularly, and they die off regularly. In cases of lymphoma, the lymphatic system becomes abnormal, producing functionless or defective cells at an alarming rate. See similar questions...

In non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, cells in the lymphatic system either divide and grow without order or control, or old cells do not die as cells normally do.

Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma can spread to almost any part of the body, including the liver, bone marrow, and spleen. See similar questions...
