Be alert to early symptoms of malignant lymphoma

  Although, lymphoma is not a very common malignant tumor in clinical practice, its incidence has been increasing significantly in recent years. According to the data reported by Lugano International Lymphoma Conference, there is 1 new case every 9 minutes worldwide, and according to the data released on World Lymphoma Awareness Day in Shanghai this year, its incidence rate is 3.5 per 100,000 people, 45,000 new cases and over 20,000 deaths in China every year. The incidence rate of lymphoma in China is 3.5 per 100,000 people. The high incidence age of lymphoma is 40-50 years old, and the average age of death is <; 50 years old, so the disease has become one of the important diseases affecting human health.  Some lymphomas can be cured Fortunately, lymphoma has become one of the very few malignant tumors that can be cured. Treatment of lymphoma has made significant progress in recent years, with most Hodgkin's lymphoma being curable and some cases of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma being cured, although less effective than Hodgkin's lymphoma.  Malignant lymphoma is a kind of systemic disease, closely related to the immune function status of the body, which is different from other solid malignant tumors and hematological tumors. To protect the organism and kill the tumor cells to the maximum extent, in order to improve the cure rate and quality of life.  The treatment of malignant lymphoma is a comprehensive treatment mainly based on chemotherapy. The treatment measures include chemotherapy, radiotherapy, surgery, targeted therapy, biological therapy, etc. Through this comprehensive treatment, many patients with "terminal" disease, who were sentenced to death by the hospital, have been able to achieve complete remission or partial cure. Once again, it is proved that malignant lymphoma is expected to become a curable disease.  Be alert to early symptoms of lymphoma The symptoms of lymphoma are mainly swollen lymph nodes felt on the body, which are not painful or itchy in the early stage and are therefore often overlooked. About 60% of lymphoma is first found in the swollen lymph nodes in the neck, which start as a single swollen node and gradually increase in number and swelling. Lymphoma can occur in lymphatic tissues throughout the body, such as the lower jaw, jaw, anterior neck, supraclavicular region, axilla, groin, mediastinal cavity, or abdominal arteries, and sometimes in the organs, causing pressure symptoms. Sometimes abnormal lymphocytes are seen in the peripheral blood.  Some types of lymphoma may be associated with bacterial and viral infections. We should develop good lifestyle habits and have regular medical checkups to detect and treat lesions early. There are no specific symptoms of clinical manifestations of lymphoma, but if there are unexplained prolonged fever, night sweats, weight loss or sudden painless enlargement of lymph nodes, we should go to the hospital as soon as possible.
