World Lymphoma Awareness Day

Lymphoma is a fairly common cancer and its incidence is rising. Unfortunately recent international surveys show that knowledge and awareness about lymph nodes and lymphoma are rather poor. World lymphoma awareness day (WLAD) began in 2004 and was initiated by the Lymphoma Coalition on a global scale to educate the public about Non-Hodgkin's and Hodgkin's lymphoma and the numerous (about 60) subtypes of lymphoma.
