Hodgkin’s lymphoma, previously known as Hodgkin’s disease, is a type of lymphoma, which is a type of cancer originating from white blood cells called lymphocytes. It was named after Thomas Hodgkin, who first described abnormalities in the lymph system in 1832. The survival rate is generally 90% or higher when the disease is detected during early stages, making it one of the more curable forms of cancer.
