Lymphoma is a cancer, which of course can kill a person.
Lymphoma comes in two types, which are Hodgkin s disease and non-Hodgkin s disease. Hodgkin s disease usually effects more males than females in their late 20s or over the age of 50. Hodgkin s disease is rarer than non-Hodgkin s disease and both of the diseases strike more whites than people of other races. Non-Hodgkin s disease affects 16 out of 100,000 people, or 45,000 Americans. Hodgkin s disease affects 5 out of 100,000.
