 | Overview |
| | Hodgkin's disease is one of a group of diseases called lymphomas. They are all produced by cancers forming in the cells of the lymphatic system. The lymphatic system is a series of microscopic vessels that drain fluid away from the tissues and return it to the blood system. Throughout this system there are small organs called lymph nodes and there are clusters of these nodes around the body especially in the neck, groin and armpits. The spleen is also part of this system. The lymphomas are divided into two main categories: Hodgkin's disease non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
There are about 1500 new cases of Hodgkin's disease every year in the UK and it is most likely to be diagnosed between the ages of 20 and 40. The cause of the disease is unknown but there is some evidence that it may be caused by the same virus that causes glandular fever. |

| Causes |
| Symptoms |
| | The first sign is usually firm but painless swelling of the lymph glands. Swelling of the lymph glands is a natural response to infection but in this case the glands are also tender to touch. Other symptoms include tiredness, weight loss, severe night sweats, fever and generalised itchy skin. |
