Hodgkin's Disease
Hodgkin's Disease is a type of cancer of the lymphatic system, which is part of the body's immune system. It is characterized by the presence of a malignant, or cancerous, type of cell called the Reed-Sternberg cell. Symptoms of Hodgkin's disease may include enlarged lymph nodes, fever, night sweats, and weight loss. Treatment options may include chemotherapy, radiation, and/or a combination of both. These treatments can help to improve the prognosis and survival rates of those with Hodgkin's Disease, especially if caught and treated early.

Stem cells have the remarkable potential to develop into many different cell types in the body during early life and growth. They serve as a sort of internal repair system, dividing essentially without limit to replenish other cells as long as the person or animal is still alive. It can divide and become another type of cell such as a muscle cell.
