What Patients Say About Cancer Treatment at New Hope
What is T-Cell Lymphoma?
Understanding your disease and diagnosis is the first step toward cancer remission.
T-cell lymphoma can develop in the lymphoid tissues, such as the lymph nodes and spleen. It can also occur outside of lymphoid tissues, often affecting the liver, gastrointestinal tract, skin, liver, nasal cavity, and others. T-cell lymphomas account for approximately seven percent of all non-Hodgkin lymphomas in the United States. Each particular T-cell lymphoma subtype is rare, which can be indolent (slow-growing) or aggressive (fast-growing).
Types of T-Cell Lymphomas
Here at New Hope Unlimited, we offer a powerful combination of conventional and alternative treatments for cancers that begin in white blood cells. Specifically, our knowledge, training, and expertise in blood cancers help to address the different types of T-cell lymphoma.
Cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) is one type of T-cell lymphoma, which primarily affects the skin. However, it can also involve the blood, lymph nodes, and organs.
The two main types of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma are:
- Mycosis Fungoides
Mycosis fungoides causes different lesions or sores that can be mistaken for other skin conditions, such as eczema, psoriasis, or dermatitis. - Sézary Syndrome
Sézary syndrome is a progressive form of mycosis fungoides. It affects the blood and can metastasize (spread) to the lymph nodes and organs.
Other T-cell lymphomas include:
- Angioimmunoblastic T-cell Lymphoma (AITL)
AITL is an uncommon and aggressive form of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. - Precursor T-Lymphoblastic Lymphoma
This lymphoma starts in the thymus gland and may invade the area between the lungs. - Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma (ALCL)
ALCL includes three subtypes, which can affect the lymph nodes, skin, and internal organs. - Peripheral T-Cell Lymphoma – Unspecified
This group of diseases does not fit into any of the other subtypes.
New Hope Unlimited also provides treatments and comprehensive care for rare types of T-cell lymphoma, including adult T-cell leukemia, enteropathy-associated intestinal T-cell lymphoma, extranodal natural killer T-cell lymphoma, and lymphoblastic lymphoma.
