B Cell Lymphoma Symptoms

Lymphoma is cancer of the lymphatic system. B-cell lymphoma is a form of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in which the white blood cells proliferate without being destroyed. The B cells in the immune system normally divide and replicate when infection is present. When the infection is destroyed, white blood cell counts go back down to normal. In B-cell lymphoma, the B cells are not destroyed.
