Definition:
Lymphomas are cancers that affect the lymph nodes. They destroy the lymph vessels that filter out the bacteria from entering the body organs. Childhood lymphomas meanwhile show abnormalities in the lymph system in which the white blood cells rapidly multiply and cause ruptures in the lymph nodes. There are two kinds of childhood lymphomas: Hodgkin's disease and Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Both lymphomas can be very fatal.
