How long can I live with lymphoma? It is a question that many patients and their families are very concerned about, and it is not possible to say in general how long they can live. The treatment of lymphoma is a systematic process involving many factors, which is closely related to the patient’s pathological typing, treatment method, physical quality and mentality, but the treatment method is the most important. Lymphoma has a relatively good prognosis and treatment plan is the key Lymphoma is divided into two main categories: Hodgkin’s lymphoma and non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Hodgkin’s lymphoma accounts for only a small percentage of cases, and most patients have non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. The main treatment modalities for non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma are: chemotherapy, targeted therapy, radiotherapy, immunotherapy, etc. Since the efficiency of current chemotherapy drugs is generally poor, and the efficiency of chemotherapy with repeated change of regimen is even lower. The toxic side effects of chemotherapy are increasing, and the cost of chemotherapy to patients may even exceed the benefits of chemotherapy. Therefore, a careful choice should be made before chemotherapy, and the benefits and risks should be reasonably evaluated. What are the factors that affect how long lymphoma patients live? 1.Actively cooperate with treatment For some lymphoma patients whose disease has already developed to an advanced stage, many of them are ready to give up their lives and do not want to waste too much money. Medical evidence shows that maintaining a positive attitude and actively cooperating with treatment can have a certain impact on the survival of patients. Lymphoma is divided into early, middle and late stages. For patients with early stage lymphoma, the common method is surgery, but after surgery, consolidation treatment is needed to improve its therapeutic effect. For some patients with advanced lymphoma, many methods are limited. Choosing a correct treatment method has a great impact on how many years lymphoma can live. 3.Related to the patient’s body function Lymphoma patients with good body function and strong immunity can better resist the development of cancer and tolerate the treatment of various drugs. Therefore, it is very important for lymphoma patients to improve their own immunity and enhance their resistance to the tumor itself. Late stage chemotherapy has limited effect and must be continued and mild treatment For advanced lymphoma, many patients currently take chemotherapy. Although chemotherapy can control the disease in a short period of time, the effect is maintained for a relatively short period of time and needs to be repeated. Moreover, it should be noted that chemotherapy is a double-edged sword. While killing cancer cells, it can also cause damage to normal tissues, leading to a series of complications and greatly reducing the patient’s physical condition. Due to the toxic side effects of chemotherapy, patients with advanced lymphoma need to be treated with continuous and gentle therapy. If the patient has already undergone chemotherapy before, he or she can be treated with Chinese medicine.
