The lymphomas: Hodgkin's disease and non-Hodgkin's lymphomas
1School of Pharmacy, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill 27599-7360.
Abstract:
This review presents an overview of a heterogeneous group of disorders that fall under the general heading of lymphomas. Many specific subtypes and presentations exist; their presentations, treatments, and prognoses vary greatly. Patients with lymphomas are generally treated with external beam radiation therapy, chemotherapy, or a combination of these two modalities. The community pharmacist may play an important role in management of patients by recognizing and alleviating the distressing side effects of treatment. Unfortunately, prevention and early detection play little role in the management of lymphomas. The improvement in survival rates of patients with all but indolent NHL is a direct result of advances in chemotherapy.

Disorders of Leukocytes
Leukopenia may result from bone marrow disorders, autoimmune diseases, and infectious diseases. For example, conditions such as multiple myeloma and aplastic anemia can impair the bone marrow's ability to produce adequate leukocytes. Similarly, autoimmune diseases like lupus and viral infections such as HIV can prompt the immune system...
Functions of the Lymphatic and Immune System
The primary lymphoid organs, including the bone marrow and the thymus, serve as the maturation sites for lymphocytes. Secondary lymphoid organs, like the mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue, activate these lymphocytes and serve as...
Lymphoid Cells and Tissues
Lymphoid cells consist of various types of immune system cells. These include B and T lymphocytes, which are responsible for producing antibodies and killing infected cells, respectively. Dendritic cells act as messengers between the innate and adaptive...
Primary Lymphoid Organs
The red bone marrow is a soft, spongy tissue nestled in the interior of long bones such as the humerus and femur. It is the site...
Secondary Lymphoid Organs
The spleen is a vital organ in the lymphatic system, nestled in the upper left side of the abdomen. It is composed of two primary regions: the red pulp and the white pulp, each having distinct functions. The red pulp performs a significant role in blood filtration. It efficiently purges the blood of old or damaged red blood cells and...
Detailed Structure and Function of Lymph Nodes
From a histological perspective, lymph nodes can be split into two main areas: the superficial cortex and the deep medulla. The outer cortex is populated by dendritic cells, macrophages, and B lymphocytes, which are densely packed into follicles. When these B-lymphocytes are presented...
