Abstract:
Treatment for childhood lymphoma has been optimized over the last 20 years. The overall survival rate now exceeds 80%. Recently, novel treatment strategies including antibodies and/or targeted therapies are expected to hold promise for advancing outcomes in children with refractory and/or relapsed lymphoma. It is also a currently important challenge to reduce the long-term toxicities associated with contemporary treatments. This review outlines the epidemiology, etiology, clinical presentation, diagnosis, and treatment of childhood lymphoma. In addition, some of the current clinical trials for childhood lymphoma being conducted in Japan are introduced.

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...
Development of the Lymphatic System
The first lymph sacs to form are the paired jugular lymph sacs located at the junction of the internal jugular and subclavian veins. From these sacs, lymphatic capillary plexuses extend to the thorax, upper limbs, neck, and head, eventually forming lymphatic vessels. Each jugular lymph sac maintains a...
