Adult Lymphoma Symptoms Quiz
For adults, persistent unexplained swollen lymph nodes deserve attention, especially when they occur with drenching night sweats, unexplained fever, or weight loss. Infections are common alternative causes. Record what you have noticed, how long it has lasted, and whether it is changing; these details can help a clinician decide what assessment is appropriate.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about this quiz, what it covers, and what your results mean.
These questions have not been clinically validated. Symptoms cannot diagnose lymphoma. Persistent or enlarging nodes need clinical review in every score range. Call 911 for severe breathing trouble, chest pain, fainting or uncontrolled bleeding.
Lymphoma is a type of cancer that may cause persistent swollen lymph nodes, drenching night sweats, unexplained fever, or weight loss. Symptoms alone cannot establish the diagnosis.
Persistent means the swelling remains rather than going away. It does not identify the cause. A node that stays enlarged or gets larger needs clinician review, even without other symptoms.
Knowing when swelling began and how it has changed helps a clinician assess the pattern. The course of a recent infection also matters. Duration alone cannot establish or exclude lymphoma.
Infections are common alternative causes. Swelling that persists after an illness, enlarges, or has no clear explanation needs clinical assessment rather than an assumption about its cause.
Possible symptoms include persistent swollen lymph nodes, drenching night sweats, unexplained fever, and unintentional weight loss. These symptoms can have other causes, and no single symptom establishes lymphoma.
No. Neither size nor tenderness can establish whether a node is cancerous. A clinician needs to assess a persistent or enlarging node and decide whether further evaluation is appropriate.
Clinical assessment helps determine what testing is needed, and diagnosis often requires a tissue biopsy. Blood tests alone cannot establish lymphoma. The type of lymphoma is determined from appropriate tissue evaluation.
No. CBC & CMP measures blood counts and chemistry values that may provide general blood-count and organ-function context when a clinician considers testing appropriate. It cannot diagnose, confirm, or rule out lymphoma or identify the cause of symptoms on its own. Results may be normal in lymphoma.
No. Isolated sweating does not establish lymphoma. Repeated drenching sweats are worth discussing, especially when they occur alongside persistent unexplained swollen nodes, fever, or weight loss.
Fatigue alone does not establish lymphoma and should not be treated as evidence of cancer. Discuss persistent unexplained symptoms with a clinician, and have persistent or enlarging nodes reviewed even if fatigue is the only other concern.
Arrange clinician review if nodes stay enlarged or begin growing after the illness resolves. Note when the illness and swelling started and whether the nodes have changed. Do not rely on a normal blood panel to dismiss persistent swelling.
Bring a timeline of swelling, recent illnesses, drenching sweats, fever readings and unintended weight changes. Ask what assessment is appropriate. Severe breathing trouble, chest pain, fainting or uncontrolled bleeding needs emergency care.
