Non Hodgkin Lymphoma Cancer Lawsuit

What is Non Hodgkin Lymphoma?

Non Hodgkin Lymphoma is a cancer that starts in cells called lymphocytes, which are part of the body’s immune system. Lymphocytes are in the lymph nodes and other lymphoid tissues (such as the spleen and bone marrow). The disease is sometimes known as Non Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, NHL, or just lymphoma.

The lymphatic system is part of the body’s immune system. It helps fight infections and other diseases while filtering out bacteria, viruses, and other unwanted substances.

Non Hodgkin Lymphoma is estimated to be the sixth most common cancer in the United States. A total of 72,000 patients are expected to be diagnosed with the illness each year in this country, with over 20,000 expected to die from NHL.

What Causes Non Hodgkin Lymphoma?

Non Hodgkin Lymphoma can be caused by workplace exposure to toxic chemicals. These chemicals include:

Benzene

Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs)

Roundup (Glyphosate)

Benzene Claims

Benzene is a liquid used to cut grease and dissolve rust. It is a highly flammable liquid with a sweet smell commonly used in maintenance and repair work at home, as well as commercial and industrial environments. Benzene has reached the bloodstream of workers in chemical and oil refineries and rubber production plants.  Exposure occurs through inhalation, skin absorption and ingestion. The connections between benzene and serious illness has been investigated and documented for years.

Non Hodgkin Lymphoma Treatment

Once it is determined that a patient is suffering from Non Hodgkin Lymphoma, a treatment plan will be devised. The treatment plan will depend largely on the type of Non Hodgkin Lymphoma, its stage, how quickly the cancer is growing and the patient’s age. In some cases, the best course of action is no course of action at all, but rather to wait and watch the cancer closely. If immediate treatment is decided to be the best course of action, the patient might receive one of the following:

Chemotherapy

Radiation therapy

Stem Cell transplant

Biological drugs

Radio Immunotherapy medications
