Non-Hodgkin lymphoma Non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) is cancer of the blood and lymph system. This term covers all types of lymph gland cancer that cannot be classified as Hodgkin's disease.
Leukaemia Leukaemia is the collective name for several types of bone marrow cancer and involves the abnormal growth of white blood cells.
Langerhans cell histiocytosis Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is characterised by the proliferation of Langerhans cells in the skin, bones and bone marrow. This proliferation interferes with the functioning of the tissues and organs.
Hodgkin lymphoma Hodgkin lymphoma, also known as Hodgkin's disease, lymphogranuloma malignum and Hodgkin's morbus, is a type of cancer of the lymphatic system (lymphoma).
Haemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis Patients with (familial) haemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosishave histiocytes have lymphocytes with a defect and therefore are not able to respond effectively to infections.
Chronic leukaemia There are many types of chronic leukaemia. Some produce too many cells and some cause too few cells to be produced. Chronic leukaemia involves mature blood cells. These blood cells replicate or accumulate slowly and can function normally for a period of time.
Acute leukaemia Acute leukaemia is a rapidly progressing cancer that starts in blood-forming tissue, such as bone marrow, and causes large numbers of white blood cells to be produced and enter the blood stream.
