Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma in Children

Non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) in children is a type of cancer that affects the lymph system, which is part of the body's immune system. It can cause symptoms such as swollen lymph nodes, breathing problems, and stomach pain. Treatment usually involves chemotherapy, and the prognosis for children with NHL has improved over the years, with intensive chemotherapy regimens increasing the cure rate.
