Greenebaum Cancer Center The most common symptom of Hodgkin's disease is painless swelling of the lymph nodes in the neck, underarm, or groin. However, some people with Hodgkin's disease experience no symptoms. Other symptoms include: fever night sweats tiredness weight loss without dieting itchy skin If a patient has these symptoms, a doctor will carefully check for swelling or lumps in the neck, underarms, and groin. If the lymph nodes don't feel normal, the doctor may need to cut out a small piece and look at it under the microscope to see if there are any cancer cells. This procedure is called a biopsy. It is the only way to confirm a cancer diagnosis. The chance of recovery (prognosis) and choice of treatment for Hodgkin's disease depend on the stage of the cancer (whether it is just in one area or has spread throughout the body), the size of the swollen areas, the results of blood tests, the type of symptoms, and the patient's age, sex, and overall condition.

Hodgkin's disease is a type of lymphoma, a cancer in the lymphatic system. It is a rare disease, accounting for less than 1 percent of all cases of cancer in the US, and occurs most often in people between the ages of 15 and 34, and in people over age 55. Hodgkin's disease causes the cells in the lymphatic system to abnormally reproduce, eventually making the body less able to fight infection. Hodgkin's disease cells can also spread to other organs. What are the symptoms of Hodgkin's disease? The following are the most common symptoms of Hodgkin's disease, however, each individual may experience symptoms differently: painless swelling of lymph nodes in neck, underarm, and groin

There are two types of lymphoma: Hodgkin’s disease is one of these two types. You can learn more about the other type, non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Hodgkin’s disease is very rare and comprises less than one percent of all cancers diagnosed in the United States. The Lymphoma Research Foundation of America states that Hodgkin's lymphoma is more curable than non-Hodgkin's. The cure rate varies according to the type of disease. Most people who develop Hodgkin’s disease are between the ages of 16–34, or over 55. Evidence suggests that Hodgkin's disease is more common in those with a family history of the illness. According to the National Cancer Institute, researchers have found certain risk factors that are more common in people who get Hodgkin's disease than in those who do not. However, most people with these risk factors do not get Hodgkin's disease, and many who do get this disease have none of the known risk factors.

Hodgkin's disease is a kind of lymphoma, an uncommon cancer of the lymphatic system. The lymphatic system includes the lymph nodes and related organs, such as the spleen and bone marrow, that are part of the body's immune and blood-forming systems. This system drains a fluid called lymph from the body and carries white blood cells called lymphocytes that help fight infection. Lymph tissue is found mainly in the spleen (located behind your stomach on the lower left side of the rib cage), the thymus gland (in the chest behind the breastbone), the adenoids and tonsils, and the bone marrow. Hodgkin's disease, also called Hodgkin's lymphoma, is one of the most curable cancers. It affects mainly adults in their 20s and 30s. Men are affected more often than women.

It is slightly more common in males than females, and is more common in Caucasians. This disease is very rare in children younger than 5 and tends to cluster in families. The main malignant cell of Hodgkin's lymphoma is the "Reed-Sternberg" cell that originates from B or T cells, cells that contain antibody molecules. Several types of Hodgkin's disease also are associated with the Epstein-Barr virus, a member of the herpes virus family and one of the most common human viruses. Four types of Hodgkin's disease are: Nodular Sclerosing This accounts for about 40 percent of all Hodgkin's disease and for 70 percent of the Hodgkin's cases in adolescents. This is the only form of Hodgkin's that is more prevalent in women. It can involve the lower cervical lymph nodes. Mixed Cellularity This represents about 30 percent of Hodgkin's disease and usually affects children less than 10 years of age. This condition is usually an advanced disease.

HODGKIN'S DISEASE Hodgkin's Disease is a "malignant lymphoma" virtually always starting in lymph nodes, formerly called "reticulum, cell sarcoma". It is a "lympho-reticular disease" that was first recognized by Thomas Hodgkins in 1832, who noted enlarged lymph nodes in patients not attributable to inflammation. Since then, there has been a continual sub-classification of the malignant lymphoma's, most notably into Hodgkin's and Non-Hodgkin's types. The classic binuceated "owi's eyes" cells, termed "Reed-Stemberg" are believed derivedfrom lymphoctyes or the monocyte-macrophage "antigen presenting" cells, and are pathognemonic for Hodgkin's Disease, which comprises 40% of malignant lymphomas. Epidemiology and Risk Factors for Hodgkin's Disease: There are 7400 new cases of Hodgkin's in the U.S.A. each year, causing 1500 deaths. The incidence of Hodgkin's has remained fairly constant over the past 50 years. A small male predominance is seen, the male to female ratio is 1:3:1. In childhood cases, 85% are male. A "bimodal" age distribution is seen for Hodgkin's, with one cluster of cases in the 2nd to 3rd decade, and a second cluster in the 7th decade. In industrials countries, the disease tends to occur at a later age than in underdeveloped countries. The disease is rare in children under 10 years old. There are proportionately more cases in the older age group peak than in the younger age group. It accounts for 0.75 of the new cancer cases in the U.S.A./year. Risk Factors: While the reason a particular person gets Hodgkin's is unknown, clusters of the disease in certain regions have been noted, and both genetic and infectious processes have are suspected. People at increased risk for developing Hodgkin's include:

Hodgkin's disease is actually a group of similar diseases that doctors often classify into several major types.  Lymphocyte predominant Hodgkin’s disease is a rare type (less than 5 percent) which behaves somewhat differently. Hodgkin’s Disease Treatment at Stanford Innovation Faculty at Stanford University have made major contributions leading to the cure of Hodgkin's disease. The late Dr. Henry S. Kaplan co-designed the first linear accelerator to be used in the Western Hemisphere for treating cancer, and he and Dr. Saul Rosenberg conducted clinical trials over several decades, which led to an ever-increasing cure rate for this disease.
