Films for the Humanities & Sciences (Firm) (Added Author). Films Media Group (Added Author). Information Television Network. (Added Author).

Summary: Our understanding of lymphoma is rapidly developing, with several varieties now identified. Beginning with a brief history of how medical science became aware of lymphatic cancer and providing an outline of the basic concepts involved, this program then distinguishes between Hodgkin's and Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma, illustrates the difference between B-Cell and T-Cell Lymphoma, and explores other topics related to the disease. Typical symptoms and their similarity to those of a flu or cold virus are explored while state-of-the-art treatments and therapies are also illustrated. Clinical commentary comes from Dr. Owen O'Connor of New York University's Langone Medical Center, Dr. Eric Hsi of the Cleveland Clinic, and other experts.
