The lymphatic system consists of thin tubes that branch, like blood vessels in all parts of the body. Lymph vessels carry lymph, a colorless, watery fluid containing white blood cells called lymphocytes. Along the network of vessels are groups of small, bean-shaped organs called lymph nodes. Clusters of lymph nodes make and store infection fighting cells.

Spleen (an organ in the upper abdomen that lymphocytes and filters old blood cells from the blood), thymus (a small organ under the sternum) and tonsils (an organ in the throat) is also part of the lymph system.

AIDS-Related Lymphoma

Since there is lymph tissue in many parts of the body, cancer can spread to almost all body organs or tissues as liver, bone marrow (the spongy tissue inside large bones that makes blood cells), spleen, or brain.

AIDS-related lymphoma is a disease in which cancer (malignant) cells are in the lymphatic system disorders in patients with AIDS (acquired immune deficiency syndrome). AIDS caused by human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) which attacks and weakens the immune system. Infections and other diseases that can penetrate the body and the immune system can not fight them.

Lymphoma is divided into two general types of Hodgkin's disease and non-Hodgkins lymphoma, which is classified by how their cells look under a microscope. This provision is histology. Histology is also used to determine which type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (many). The types of non-Hodgkin lymphomas are classified by how quickly they spread: low-grade, intermediate quality or high quality. In mid-or high-grade lymphomas grow and spread more quickly than low-grade lymphoma.

The main types of lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease and non-Hodgkin lymphoma can occur in people with AIDS. In mid-and high-grade types of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma usually in AIDS patients. Both forms of lymphoma can also occur in adults and children.

Uterus is part of a woman's reproductive system. It is a hollow, pear-shaped organ that a baby grows. The location is near to pelvis between the bladder and rectum.

The tight and the cervix are exactly located under the uterus. The wide, middle part of the uterus is the body, or it’s also called corpus.

Commonly in women of childbearing age, lining of the uterus grow and thicken each month to prepare for pregnancy. If a woman is not pregnant, the thick, bloody lining flows out of the body through the vagina. This condition we often called it menstruation.


You have to remember that benign tumors are not cancer. Most doctors can help you to remove it. The benign tumors cells do not spread to other parts of the body. In many cases, the benign tumors do not return after its removal. Most essential, benign tumors are not often a threat to life.

But, some research also report that malignant tumors are cancer. They are commonly more serious and life threatening. Cancer cells can penetrate and damage nearby tissues and the organs. Cancer cells also can break with a malignant tumor and enter the blood or lymphatic system disorders. That is how cancer cells spread from the original (primary) tumor to form new tumors in other organs. And that condition often called as metastasis.


When uterine cancer extends (metastasizes) outside the uterus, cancer cells often found in nearby lymph nodes, nerves and blood vessels. If the cancer cell has reached the lymph nodes, then cancer cells has the ability to spread to other lymph nodes and into other organs like lungs, the worse is come to liver and bones.


When the cancer cell spreads from its original place to another part of the body, the new tumor has the same type of abnormal cells and the same name as the primary tumor. For illustration, if the cell cancer of the uterus spreads to the lungs, the cancer cells in the lungs are actually uterine cancer cells. The disease is metastatic uterine cancer; please note that is not lung cancer. It is treated as cervical cancer, not lung cancer. Doctors sometimes named the new tumor "distant" disease.

Generally the uterus cancers are usually started from the lining (endometrium). This condition called endometrial cancer, uterine cancer and cancer of the uterus.
