Other types of follicular lymphoma - what does this mean
Other types of follicular lymphoma are a type of non-hodgkin's lymphoma that is caused by the abnormal growth of b-cells, a type of white blood cell, in the lymph nodes. these abnormal b-cells can spread to other parts of the body and can cause the lymph nodes to swell. treatment options may include chemotherapy, radiation, and/or targeted therapy.
What happens during the disease - other types of follicular lymphoma
Follicular lymphoma is a type of b-cell non-hodgkin lymphoma that is caused by a mutation in the b-cell receptor. this mutation leads to an uncontrolled growth of b-cells, which then accumulate in lymphoid tissues and form tumors. the exact cause of the mutation is unknown, but it is believed to be related to environmental and genetic factors. other types of follicular lymphoma include diffuse large b-cell lymphoma, mantle cell lymphoma, and marginal zone lymphoma, which all share similar characteristics but are caused by different mutations.
