Intravascular NK/T-cell Lymphoma is an extremely rare and aggressive form of lymphoma. What makes it unique is that the cancerous cells grow mainly inside small blood vessels rather than forming large tumours in organs or lymph nodes. This disease involves NK (natural killer) cells or T-cells, both of which are part of the immune system. It can affect many parts of the body, especially the skin, brain, and other organs.
Many sufferers of Intravascular NK/T-cell Lymphoma struggle because they feel that their disease doesn’t have the same level of awareness as more common cancers. Without a Ribbon is an Australian non-profit organisation that believes that rare cancers should never go unnoticed. We aim to provide a detailed set of resources and information for anyone suffering from cancers such as Intravascular NK/T-cell Lymphoma. We have recently created an Intravascular NK/T-cell Lymphoma resource page to help sufferers understand their disease. It covers the symptoms, available treatments and other important information.
We hope that this resource page will help you or a friend/family member to learn about their illness and aid them through their battle with the disease.
