Hodgkin lymphoma is a cancer of the lymphatic system marked by the presence of a distinctive abnormal cell within affected lymph nodes. It commonly presents as painless swelling of lymph nodes in the neck, chest, or underarm, sometimes accompanied by fever, night sweats, and weight loss. It is one of the more treatable cancers, particularly when identified early.
