From the provided website, I learned that childhood Hodgkin lymphoma is a cancer that develops in the lymph system. The two main types of childhood Hodgkin lymphoma are classic and nodular lymphocyte-predominant. Epstein-Barr virus infection and a family history of Hodgkin lymphoma can increase the risk of childhood Hodgkin lymphoma. Signs of childhood Hodgkin lymphoma include swollen lymph nodes, fever, drenching night sweats, and weight loss. This information provided a valuable perspective as someone interested in learning about cancer. Overall, it was a very informative website.
