www.Primo.com: Lymph gland.

Lymph nodes are part of our body's defense system. Our body has approximately 600 lymph nodes, but only in the submandibular region (lower part of the lower jaw sub: bottom; mandible: the lower jaw), armpit or groin normal palpable in healthy people.

Encased in a fibrous capsule that contains a collection of cells forming the body's defenses and is a screening antigen (foreign protein) of lymph vessels that pass through it. Lymph vessels will flow to the lymph nodes so that from the location of the lymph nodes will be known to the flow of lymph vessels that pass through it.

Therefore bypassed by the flow of lymph vessels that can carry antigens (microbes, foreign substances) and have immune cells then if there is an antigen that infects the lymph nodes can generate cells of the body's defense more to address these antigens to lymph nodes enlarged lymph. Enlarged lymph nodes can be derived from the addition of the immune cells derived from lymph node itself such as lymphocytes, plasma cells, monocytes and histiocytes, or because of the arrival of inflammatory cells (neutrophils) to overcome the infection in the lymph nodes (lymphadenitis ), infiltration (influx) of malignant cells or macrophages pile of metabolites disease (Gaucher disease)
By knowing the location of lymph node enlargement, then we can deploy to the location of the possibility of infection or cause enlarged lymph nodes.

Lymph node cancer.

Lymph node cancer or lymphoma is a malignant cancer that is associated with the lymphatic system. The lymphatic system is an important part of the immune system that make up the body's natural defense against infection and cancer, then identify with more detail are the features of lymph node disease.

Lymphatic fluid itself is a white liquid like milk fat and protein containing lymphocytes which all flow throughout the body via the lymphatic vessels.

Common symptoms are felt by patients with lymphoma include swollen lymph nodes in the neck, armpit or groin.

Classification and Symptoms of Cancer Lymph Nodes.

Hodgkin's.

Is a type of lymphoma that is characterized by enlarged lymph nodes and spleen without pain. This cancer is very progressive in some lymphoid tissue and the abnormal growth of cells occurs rapidly. Risk factors for lymph cancer Hodgkin's type:
Men / women aged 15-38 years and above 50 years of age.
Have abnormalities in the functioning of the body's cellular immune system (T-cells) despite normal antibody production.

Symptoms of lymphatic cancer Hodgkin's type :

Thorough swelling of lymph nodes throughout the body: neck, armpits, and groin (no pain).
Fever, night sweats, loss of appetite, and weight loss.
In some people, sometimes attacking the chest that causes respiratory problems.

Growing, abnormal cells will spread to nearby lymph nodes and start attacking other structures including the lungs, heart, and abdominal organs.

Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

Is a malignant cancer that is derived from lymph nodes and other lymphoid tissues. This type of lymphoma is more common in men, especially at the age of 50 years. The symptoms of lymphoma types of non-Hodgkin:
Enlarged lymph nodes / lymph nodes.
Enlarged tonsils and adenoid glands, lymph nodes in the neck and surrounding areas becomes reddish.
Lymphomas that develop symptoms of fever, night sweats, fatigue, and weight loss.

Do not delay taking important steps when the symptoms mentioned above are already visible. The sooner treated the greater hope of recovery.
Cancer Treatment Lymph Nodes

Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma is a group of malignancy (cancer) derived from lymph systems and usually spreads throughout the body.

Some of lymphoma is growing very slowly (in years), while others spread quickly (within a few months).
The disease is more common than Hodgkin's disease.

Cause.

Lymph node disease may be caused by an infection from a variety of organisms, namely bacteria, viruses, protozoa, rickettsiae or fungi. In particular, the infection spreads to the lymph nodes of skin infections, ear, nose or eyes.

The cause is unknown, but evidence suggests an association with a virus that is still recognizable.
A kind of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma is expanding rapidly because of infection associated with HTLV-I (human T-cell lymphotropic virus type I), which is a retrovirus that functions like HIV causes AIDS.
Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma can also be a complication of AIDS.

Symptoms.

Symptoms Lymph node cancer - cancer of lymph nodes is often referred to as lymphoma. Lymphoma or lymph gland cancer this is the type of cancer that attacks white blood cells and accumulate in the lymph nodes. They multiply rapidly and grow uncontrollably.

Lymph node cancer can strike at anyone. Small children can be at risk for lymph node cancer. Cancer usually affects the lymph nodes in the neck, bone marrow, liver, stomach, but rarely in the brain.

The definition of lymph node cancer or lymphoma is a malignant cancer that is associated with the lymphatic system is an important part of the immune system and in charge of shaping the body's natural defenses against infection and cancer.

Lymphatic fluid itself is a white liquid like milk fat and protein containing lymphocytes which all flow throughout the body via the lymphatic vessels.

Symptoms of this disease is very much at all, among which are :

Spongy lump which may arise
Not painful
easily moved
No signs of inflammation
Losing weight is more than 10% within 6 months
Frequent night sweats
Prolonged fever with a temperature over 38 degrees Celsius.
Early symptoms that can be identified are enlarged lymph nodes in one place (eg, neck or groin) or throughout the body.
The gland enlarges slowly and usually do not cause pain.

Sometimes enlarged lymph nodes in the tonsils (tonsillectomy) causes swallowing disorders.
Enlarged lymph nodes deep in the chest or abdomen can suppress various organs and cause :

respiratory disorders
reduced appetite
severe constipation
abdominal pain
swelling of the legs.
If lymphoma spread into the blood can occur leukemia.
Lymphoma and leukemia have many similarities

Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma is more likely to spread to the bone marrow, gastrointestinal tract and skin.

In children, the symptoms initially are the inclusion of lymphoma cells in the bone marrow, blood, skin, intestine, brain and spinal cord; not enlarged lymph nodes.
The entry of these lymphoma cells causing anemia, skin rashes and neurological symptoms (eg, weakness and abnormal sensations).

Is usually enlarged lymph nodes inside, which led to:

collection of fluid around the lungs causing shortness of breath
emphasis intestine resulting in a decrease in appetite or vomiting
blockage of the lymph nodes, causing a buildup of fluid.
