Mantle Cell Lymphoma Fund

Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare and aggressive form of non-Hodgkin lymphoma that affects B-lymphocytes in the mantle zone of lymph nodes. MCL typically presents with swollen lymph nodes, fatigue, night sweats or unexplained abdominal swelling. This can be an aggressive and fast-growing cancer.

MCL affects middle-aged to older adults, with a median age of diagnosis around 65 years. Males are four times as likely to be diagnosed as women. There are close to 4,000 new diagnoses each year.
