Lymphomas are cancers that affect the cells in the immune system and are the most common type of blood cancer. Depending on the specific cells that are affected, each case is classified as one of two primary types - Hodgkin's or non-Hodgkin's - and these two categories break down further into five types of Hodgkin's lymphoma and more than 40 subtypes of non-Hodgkin's.
Of the two types, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma is far more common, affecting approximately 66,000 Americans every years, as opposed to 8,000 cases of Hodgkin's lymphoma.
