Hodgkin Lymphoma
This hallmark cell confirms Hodgkin lymphoma on biopsy.
Reed–Sternberg cells
Most common early sign of lymphoma
painless lymphadenopathy
Required test to confirm lymphoma.
lymph node biopsy
Lymphomas originate from these immune system cells.
What are B or T lymphocytes
This leukemia primarily affects children.
Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL)
Hodgkin lymphoma usually spreads in this predictable way.
node-to-node spread
Cytokines release irritation in nerve endings presents as which symptom
pruritus
Imaging used for staging lymphoma.
CT or PET scan
In Hodgkin lymphoma, malignant cells trigger this body response causing swelling.
inflammation
leukemia is most common in older adults
Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL)
This lymph node region is commonly first affected in Hodgkin lymphoma.
cervical or mediastinal lymph nodes
Frequent infections in leukemia are due to low levels of this cell type.
neutrophils / white blood cells
Test used to assess bone marrow involvement.
bone marrow biopsy
Leukemia involves uncontrolled production of immature blood cells in this organ.
bone marrow
This complication occurs when blasts crowd out normal blood cells
bone marrow failure
This symptom triad is known as “B symptoms.”
fever, night sweats, and weight loss
Petechiae and easy bruising are caused by low levels of this blood component.
platelets (thrombocytopenia)
CBC finding commonly seen in leukemia
abnormal white blood cell counts
Virus associated with increased risk of Hodgkin lymphoma
Epstein–Barr virus (EBV)
Treatment option that uses drugs to kill rapidly dividing cells.
chemotherapy
Compared with Non-Hodgkin lymphoma, Hodgkin generally has this prognosis.
high cure rate / good prognosis
This triad of problems results from bone marrow failure in leukemia.
anemia, infection, and bleeding
Elevated ESR is often associated with this cancer
Hodgkin lymphoma?
Term for cancer that begins in blood-forming tissue
leukemia
These two lab finding helps distinguish leukemia from infection
