Aggressive lymphoma, also known as high-grade lymphoma, is a group of fast growing non-Hodgkin lymphoma.[1]
Some common symptoms for aggressive lymphoma are weight loss, night sweats, nausea and recurrent fevers.[medical citation needed] Since these tumors are fast to grow and spread, immediate intervention is required after diagnosis.[citation needed]
There are several subtypes of aggressive lymphoma. These include AIDS-associated lymphoma, angioimmunoblastic lymphoma, Burkitt lymphoma, central nervous system (CNS) lymphoma, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) and peripheral T-cell lymphoma.[1] Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma is the most common subtype as well as the most common type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma.[2]
Aggressive lymphoma accounts for approximately 60 percent of all non-Hodgkin cases in the United States.[1]
