Lymphoma is a type of cancer of the lymphatic system which consists of body’s blood filtering tissues that help to fight against infection and diseases. Lymphoma occurs when the lymphatic cells divide too much and too fast, so that it loses the growth control. As a result of this overcrowding and invasion of lymphatic cells occurs and the destruction of lymphoid tissues which spread over the other organs. Basically there are two types of lymphomas: “Hodgkins Lymphoma and non-Hodgkins Lymphoma. This lymphoma is named after Dr. Thomas Hodgkin, who first recognized it in 1832. In Hodgkins Lymphoma surgery, the lymphatic tissue contains specific cells called as Reed-Sternberg cells. It begin in lymphatic tissues and are more likely to spread areas beyond the lymph nodes. Usually it is treated either by Chemotherapy and Radiation therapy. Chemotherapy refers to a treatment of disease with the implementation of chemicals. Chemotherapy is specially used for the treatment of all types of cancer. It usually refers to antineoplastic drugs used to treat cancer or the combination of these drugs into a standardized treatment regimen. Radiation Therapy is the proper medical implementation of ionizing radiation for the treatment of cancer like Hodgkins Lymphoma. The radiation fields may also include the draining lymph nodes if they are clinically or radiologically involved with lymph. It is used as a palliative treatment.

Majority of the international patients for Hodgkin’s Lymphoma surgery in India are successfully treated by Chemotherapy and Radiation therapy at the cancer surgery hospitals of Mumbai, Delhi, Chennai and Bangalore.
