Italy's Ambassador to Bulgaria Gian Battista Campagnola, Social Minister Emiliya Maslarova and people suffering from the lymphoma disease planted on Sunday the Tree of Life in front of the Health Ministry.
The event is part of the UN health campaign and Bulgaria's national media campaign for fighting for the right of living and treatment of the people suffering from lymphoma.
The minister, the ambassador and the lymphoma-sick lit together the symbol of the people suffering from this type of cancer that originates in lymphocytes.
The Tree of Life will be a symbol for continuing to live and the aim is to remind the Health, the Social and the Finance Ministries that they have to take care of these people.
In Bulgaria 400 people fall ill with the disease, but only have sought medical help until now.
Thre are many types of lymphoma. Lymphomas are part of the broad group of diseases called hematological neoplasms.
In the 19th and 20th centuries the affliction was called Hodgkin's Disease, as it was discovered by Thomas Hodgkin in 1832. Colloquially, lymphoma is broadly categorized as Hodgkin's lymphoma and non-Hodgkin lymphoma (all other types of lymphoma).
Although older classifications referred to histiocytic lymphomas, these are recognized in newer classifications as of B, T or NK cell lineage. Histiocytic malignancies are rare and are classified as sarcomas.
