More on Hodgkin's lymphoma
Description from Wikipedia:
Hodgkin's lymphoma, also known as Hodgkin's disease, is a type of lymphoma first described by Thomas Hodgkin in 1832. Hodgkin's lymphoma is characterized clinically by the orderly spread of disease from one lymph node group to another and by the development of systemic symptoms with advanced disease. Pathologically, the disease is characterized by the presence of Reed-Sternberg cells (RS cells). Hodgkin's lymphoma was one of the first cancers to be cured by radiation. Later it was one of the first to be cured by combination chemotherapy. The survival rate is generally around 90% when the disease is detected relatively early, making it one of the more curable forms of cancer. More recent trials are showing much higher five-year survival rates than have previously been seen, up to 98% for patients in earlier stages. Later-stage cancers, though, continue to show a significantly worse prognosis. The Handbook of Cancer Chemotherapy, Sixth Edition states that "the potential for cure should not lead clinicians and patients to lose sight of the fact that [Hodgkin's lymphoma] is a malignancy and that approximately 20% to 25% of patients...die of the disease."
