Lymph node cancer or lymphoma is a cancer that accounts for approximately five percent of all cancers.

Hodgkins Disease is a form of lymph node cancer but is rare in its occurrence.

All other remaining types of lymph node cancer are known as non-Hodgkins lymphoma. The majority of lymph node cancers treated are of the non-Hodgkins type. Night sweats, unexplained fever, chronic fatigue and unexplained weight loss. Lymph node cancer is also known as lymphatic cancer. Those with a family history of lymph node cancer statistically fall within a higher risk group of contracting the disease.

Lymph node cancer is a type of cancer that involves the lymphatic system.

Lymph node cancer is curable and if detected early and with effective treatment a person with lymph node cancer has a greater chance than ever before of being cured of this disease and if cured can expect to live a long and normal life. Many new and innovative treatments for lymph node cancer have been developed and are now available.

Advanced Prostate Cancer With Only Lymph Node Involvement

Executive Summary about Lymph Node Cancer by Charles E. Myers

As I have discussed in several issues of my newsletter, Prostate Forum http://www.prostateforum.com, prostate cancer usually spreads from the prostate gland to the lymph nodes in the pelvis and then to bone. However, there are occasionally men who have prostate cancer that has spread to the lymph nodes outside of the pelvis yet do not show any evidence of bone involvement.

At that time, he had extensive pelvic and retroperitoneal lymph node involvement, but no bone metastases. After 6 months of therapy, his PSA was less than 0.01 ng/ml, but the CT scan still showed enlargement of his retroperitoneal lymph nodes.

As his testosterone recovered, his PSA increased from less than 0.01 ng/ml to 0.1 – 0.2 ng/ml and has been stable in this range ever since. His last PSA, done 18 months after the end of hormonal therapy, remained stable and bone scan and CT scan showed no evidence of metastatic cancer. Ultrasound exam still showed cancer present within the prostate gland.
