[–] victorz@lemmy.world 36 points 1 week ago (5 children) lol is this true? That's such a slap in the face 😆 permalink fedilink source hideshow 5 child comments replies: [–] meat@lemmy.blahaj.zone 90 points 1 week ago (1 child) No. The non type is actually a catch all for around 60 other types. It's a real name though, and it's known for being unwieldy. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] victorz@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago Brutal name, holy... permalink fedilink source parent [–] TheLowestStone@lemmy.world 18 points 1 week ago (1 child) No but there's a grain of truth. I'm not a doctor but here's what I remember from Wikipedia and watching medical dramas. Hodgkin's is named after a doctor but its a specific type of lymphoma that makes up something like 10% of all lymphoma cases and usually follows a predictable pattern. I believe it has a higher survival rate than most cancers, especially in younger people. Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma includes every other subtype of lymphoma. I know there are 2 major subsets of subtypes and that there are dozens of subtypes. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 3 points 1 week ago non hodgekins have so many subtypes, so its much harder to treat those. also hodgekin lymphoma have specific criteria, like Reed-Sternberg cells permalink fedilink source parent [–] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 week ago No it's not true, sadly permalink fedilink source parent
