Non Hodgkins Lymphoma
When it comes to lymphomas, there exists a somewhat artificial distinction between Hodgkin's and Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Hodgkin's is one specific type of cancer of the lymphocytes, but Non-Hodgkin's contains many specific kinds of cancer. Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma is one of the harder diseases to treat, since there are many stages the disease goes through.
Treatment can include radiation therapy, chemotherapy, or even bone-marrow transplants. Inexplicably, treatment is often ineffective in cases that aren't progressing quickly, so patients are often prescribed "watchful waiting"--waiting, that is, for the disease to progress to a point that facilitates treatment. In any case, treatment for lymphomas tend to be very exhausting and expensive therapies.
The cause of Non-Hodgkin's lymphomas are still being researched, but there are a number of causes. One strong link has been found shows that people who work with pesticides, fertilizers, and chemical solvents are more likely to develop lymphoma. All of these chemicals use benzene at some point in their production, and it is well-documented that benzene may cause several kinds of leukemia.
