Hodgkin Lymphoma Versus Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma: How Are They Different?

These blood cancers share similarities, but differ in significant ways:

  • Non-Hodgkin lymphoma is more common than Hodgkin lymphoma.
  • Different lymphocytes are involved in these lymphomas. The hallmark of Hodgkin lymphoma is the presence of abnormalities called Reed-Sternberg cells, which are not present in non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
  • Hodgkin lymphoma often occurs in people under 40, while non-Hodgkin lymphoma is more common in people over 60.
