< b>Cancer, Hodgkin disease (adult): A type of lymphoma (cancer of the lymphatic
system). The most common symptom of Hodgkin disease is a painless swelling in the
lymph nodes in the neck, underarm, or groin. Hodgkin disease is diagnosed when abnormal
tissue is detected by a pathologist after a biopsy of an enlarged lymph node. Treatment
usually includes radiation therapy or chemotherapy. Regular follow-up examinations
are important after treatment for Hodgkin disease. Patients treated for Hodgkin
disease have an increased risk of developing other types of cancer later in life,
especially leukemia.
