Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma
SYMPTOMS. Early signs may involve the tonsils and rubbery lymph nodes. Many
signs resemble those of cancer of the small intestine and stomach. See also
STOMACH CANCER and SMALL INTESTINE CANCER. Later signs include fever, weight
loss, weakness and night sweats. Sometimes a disease develops that resembles
leukemia. Also see LEUKEMIA.
CAUSES are unknown at this time but a viral origin is suspected. It is more
frequent than Hodgkin's disease and can occur at any age.
TREATMENT. Consult your doctor.
