Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, a type of lymphoma, is cancer that begins in the lymphocytes. Lymphocytes are part of the immune system and normally protect the body from infection. As one lymphocyte becomes abnormal and begins dividing uncontrollably, many abnormal lymphocytes form. These lymphocytes do not protect the body and live longer than they normally should.eMedicine: Lymphoma, Non-Hodgkin
