The B-cell lymphomas are types of lymphoma affecting B cells. Lymphomas are seen as "blood cancers" in the lymph nodes. They grow more often in older adults and in immunocompromised people.

B-cell lymphomas include both Hodgkin's lymphomas and most non-Hodgkin lymphomas. They are usually split into low and high risk forms.[1]
