Subtipos de linfoma: você conhece a diferença?
O linfoma não Hodgkin (LNH) é um tipo de câncer no sangue que começa nas células brancas do sangue chamadas linfócitos, que são componentes importantes do sistema imunológico.¹ Existem mais de 60 tipos diferentes de LNH,² que também pode ser classificado como indolente (de crescimento lento) ou agressivo (de crescimento rápido), dependendo da rapidez de crescimento do câncer.¹ Dois dos tipos mais comuns, o linfoma folicular e o linfoma difuso de grandes células B (LDGCB), são muito diferentes em termos de como, quando e onde se desenvolvem, e como são tratados.
Quais são os subtipos mais comuns de LNH?
