GlossaryBurkitt's lymphoma

highly aggressive cancer of B cells often linked to Epstein-Barr virus

Burkitt's lymphoma is a highly aggressive type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma that originates from B cells, a type of white blood cell. It is most commonly associated with a translocation involving the MYC gene on chromosome 8, leading to uncontrolled cell growth. This cancer is often linked to the Epstein-Barr virus and is prevalent in children in certain regions of Africa, but it can also occur in other parts of the world. Prompt diagnosis and intensive chemotherapy are crucial for effective treatment.
