Lymphomas are blood cancers that develop in lymphocytes, a type of white blood cell that helps fight infections. Lymphocytes travel through the lymphatic system, including lymph nodes and vessels, and are also found in the bloodstream, bone marrow, and organs such as the spleen.

Approximately 880,000 people in the United States were estimated to be either living with lymphoma or in remission in 2023.
