Question

which of the following statements are true about lymphoma? check all that apply. lymphoma is cancer of lung tissue. lymphoma begins in the cells of the immune system. antibodies attack lymphocytes. lymphoma reduces immune function.

Explanation:

• Lymphoma is cancer of the lymphatic system, not lung tissue. So the statement "Lymphoma is cancer of lung tissue" is false.
• Lymphoma begins in lymphocytes (a type of white blood cell which is part of the immune system). So the statement "Lymphoma begins in the cells of the immune system" is true.
• In lymphoma, it is the lymphocytes that become cancerous, not antibodies attacking lymphocytes. So the statement "Antibodies attack lymphocytes" is false.
• Since lymphoma affects lymphocytes (which are crucial for immune function), lymphoma reduces immune function. So the statement "Lymphoma reduces immune function" is true.

Answer:

• "Lymphoma begins in the cells of the immune system"
• "Lymphoma reduces immune function"
