Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma is cancer that originates in the lymphatic system and causes swollen lymph nodes in the neck, armpits or groin. It has several stages ranging from stage I, where the cancer is limited to one lymph node region, to stage IV, the most advanced stage where cancer has spread to multiple organs. Treatment options include chemotherapy, radiation therapy, immunotherapy drugs, stem cell transplants, and other drug therapies. Most relapses of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma happen within the first 2 years after treatment.
