The cancer of the blood that comes from the body’s lymph system is diagnosed as lymphoma cancer. The lymph, lymph vessels, lymph nodes, bone marrow, spleen and liver comprised the lymph system. Lymph can circulate and travel through the body via lymph vessels. The bone marrow and the spleen produce lymphocytes that fight pathogens. When lymphoma cancer occurs, there is a breakdown in the system.
Lymphoma occurs when the body’s lymphocytes divide and multiply quickly at an unusual, accelerated rate. As time goes on, just like illegal settlers, the lymphocytes begin to ease and crowd out the legitimate and healthy cell by forming tumors that develop in the lymph nodes.
The process by which lymphoma cancer can spread throughout the body is called Metastasis. The primary origin of metastasis is the primary tumor. The primary tumor in lymphoma cancer can be found in one of the body’s lymph nodes. Metastasis occurs when cancer cells manage to break off from the primary tumor and move to other organs of the body. The process can happen by way of the lymphatic system or bloodstream.
The bloodstream plays an important role in the development of Lymphoma cancer. The cancer cells find connections to the bloodstreams through transports so they can use it as a food source when they divide and multiply. A break away cancer cell can use the transport or blood vessel as a route to enter the bloodstream. Just like early civilization, the cancer cell travels in streams and starts attaching itself to settlement areas and then in that area, they start to multiply.
Lymphoma cancer can also develop within the lymphatic system. Since the cancer originated in the lymphatic system, the cancer cell will break off the primary tumor and set a secondary site through other parts of the lymphatic system. The tumor cell is accessible to other organs because of the lymph system.
When lymphoma cancer establishes in secondary sites, it is then an extremely serious condition. The lymphoma cells begin to multiply at an accelerated rate and become tumors. By eliminating and terminating healthy cells, the organ dies slowly. The time will come that the cells will render the organ useless and it’s just a matter of time the patient passes away.
Early detection is the key to survival.
