 | | There are two main methods to treat Hodgkin's disease: chemotherapy and radiation therapy. | | | Hodgkin's lymphoma or Hodgkin's disease represents about eight percent of all lymphoma, according to the Leukemia Society of America, but it is the more well-known form of lymphoma and all other forms of lymphoma are grouped as non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. | | | Hodgkin's disease is rare in children under 5 and an estimated 10-15% of cases are diagnosed in children under 16. |

| | Hodgkin's disease was first described by Dr Thomas Hodgkin in 1832 and is a cancer which affects the lymphatic system. | | | The first sign of Hodgkin's disease is usually a painless swelling of one gland or a group of lymph glands, which continues for some weeks. | | | The treatment of Hodgkin's disease involves either chemotherapy, or radiotherapy, or a combination of the two. |

| | The cell histology in Hodgkin's lymphoma is not as important as it is in non-Hodgkin's lymphoma: the treatment and prognosis in Hodgkin's lymphoma depend on the stage of disease rather than the histotype. | | | Hodgkin's disease must be distinguished from non-cancerous causes of lymph node swelling (such as various infections) and from other types of cancer. | | | Thomas Hodgkin in 1832, and characterized by the presence of Reed-Sternberg cells. |

| | The disease was called Hodgkin's disease for about 170 years and was officially changed to Hodgkin lymphoma when sufficient evidence accrued that the cancer originated in a lymphocyte. | | | Hodgkin (disease) lymphoma has been known as a disease that affects lymphatic tissue since Thomas Hodgkin described it in 1832. | | | The most common early sign of Hodgkin lymphoma is a painless swelling of the lymph nodes in the neck, upper chest, interior of the chest, armpit, abdomen or groin. |

| | Hodgkin lymphoma (also known as Hodgkin's lymphoma, Hodgkin disease, or Hodgkin's disease) is named after Dr. Thomas Hodgkin, who first described it as a new disease in 1832. | | | Usually there is a mass of lymphoma in the mediastinum (the area around the heart and behind the chest bone). | | | Although this lymphoma usually starts in lymph nodes, it can grow in other areas such as the intestines, bone, and even the brain or spinal cord. |

| | Treatment for childhood Hodgkin's disease depends on the type and stage of disease and how the stage was determined, as well as the child's age, symptoms, and general health. | | | For example, a child with stage I disease without any symptoms is said to have stage IA disease; a child with stage I disease with symptoms is said to have stage IB disease. | | | The chance of recovery (prognosis) and choice of treatment depend on the stage of the cancer (whether it is just in one area or has spread throughout the body), the type of symptoms that are present, and the age and overall condition of the child. |
