    About this ebook

    Authoritative information and practical advice from the nation's cancer experts about childhood Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL), including B-cell (Burkitt), diffuse large B-cell, lymphoblastic lymphoma, and anaplastic large cell lymphoma. Starting with the basics, and advancing to detailed patient-oriented and physician-quality information, this comprehensive compilation gives empowered patients, families, caregivers, nurses, and physicians the information they need to understand the diagnosis and treatment of this disease. In addition to disease-specific information, this ebook includes a glossary and information on the late effects of treatment for childhood cancer and pediatric supportive care. In children, non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) is distinct from the more common forms of lymphoma observed in adults. While lymphomas in adults are more commonly low or intermediate grade, almost all NHL that occurs in children is high grade. The incidence of NHL observed in children and adolescents varies depending on age, gender, and histology. Regardless of age or histology, males have a higher incidence than females. Burkitt lymphoma is much more common in males, with the highest incidence between the ages of 5 years and14 years. The incidence of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) increases with age in both males and females. The incidence of lymphoblastic lymphoma remains relatively constant across ages for both males and females.
