In this lecture Professor Zach Murphy will be presenting on Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma. Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (also known as NHL, or sometimes just lymphoma) is a cancer that starts in white blood cells called lymphocytes, which are part of the body’s immune system.
NHL is a term that's used for many different types of lymphoma that all share some of the same characteristics. There is another main type of lymphoma, called Hodgkin lymphoma, which has been discussed in our Hodgkin's Lymphoma lecture: https://youtu.be/S9qmND7SeXQ
NHL usually starts in lymph nodes or other lymph tissue, but it can sometimes affect the skin. We hope you enjoy this lecture!
