Mantle Cell Lymphoma

Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare and aggressive type of cancer that affects the lymphatic system. It originates in the mantle cell layer of lymphoid follicles found within lymph nodes. This type of lymphoma can have relatively short responses to therapy and may lead to frequent relapses, even with early and intensive treatment.
