What Patients Say About Cancer Treatment at New Hope
What Is B-Cell Lymphoma?
Battling a progressive disease begins with being armed with essential information.
B-cell lymphomas are cancers of the lymph nodes. It affects B lymphocytes, which are your body’s most effective weapons against invaders, including bacteria, viruses, and parasites. This malignant disease makes up about 85 percent of non-Hodgkin lymphomas (NHL) in the United States. Treatment is based on the specific subtype and stage of the disease.
B-Cell Lymphomas We Treat at New Hope Unlimited
The common types of B-cell lymphoma are:
- Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma: the most common form of NHL in the U.S., accounting for about 1 out of every 3 lymphomas.
- Follicular lymphoma: a slow-growing lymphoma most often affecting older adults.
- Chronic lymphocytic leukemia or small lymphocytic leukemia: starts in the bone marrow and then goes into the blood.
- Mantle cell lymphoma: occurs in the outer edge of a lymph node (mantle zone).
- Marginal zone lymphoma: indolent lymphomas that develop from memory B cells in the marginal zone.
- Burkitt lymphoma: an aggressive tumor associated with impaired immunity and is rapidly fatal if left untreated.
- Lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma (Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia): a rare and mature B cell lymphoma usually involving the bone marrow, and sometimes the spleen and lymph nodes.
- Primary mediastinal large B-cell lymphoma: arises between the lungs and behind the breast bone, in an area called the mediastinum.
B-Cell Lymphoma Symptoms
Signs of B-cell lymphoma vary according to the type of B-cell lymphoma and how advanced it is. Some common symptoms include:
- Swollen lymph nodes in your underarms, groin, or neck
- Abdominal pain or swelling
- Persistent coughing
- Recurrent fevers and night sweats
- Difficulty breathing and chest pains
- Unintended weight loss
- Weakness and fatigue
Speak with a medical professional if you experience one or more of the above symptoms. An accurate diagnosis, followed by proper treatment, can improve your B-cell lymphoma prognosis and life expectancy.
Causes of B-Cell Lymphoma
In most cases, doctors do not know the exact causes of B-cell lymphoma and other non-Hodgkin lymphomas. In some cases, it is because of a weakened immune system.
Other factors that may increase your risk of B-cell lymphoma include:
- Intake of medications that suppress your immune system
- Infection with certain viruses and bacteria, including:
- Epstein-Barr infection
- Helicobacter pylori
- Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)
- Exposure to chemicals, such as those that kill insects and weeds
- Being at the age of 60 and over
People diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's lymphomas often do not have any obvious risk factors. Conversely, several men and women who have risk factors for the disease never develop it.
Diagnostic Tests for B-Cell Lymphoma
To diagnose B-cell lymphoma, your doctor will begin with a complete review of your medical history, risk factors, and other medical conditions to rule out other possible causes of your symptoms. Next, your doctor will pay close attention to your lymph nodes and other areas of the body that might be affected before ordering a biopsy. The removal of tissue for examination under a microscope (lymph node and bone marrow biopsy) is the only way to confirm if you have B-cell lymphoma.
