”Things in this world are unpredictable and life is limited. It turns out that everyone is equal in front of cancer.” The news of the inspirational model Li Kaifu suffering from “lymphoma” has once again touched everyone’s nerves. The famous CCTV host Luo Jing passed away four years ago because of lymphoma, and recently the internet also listed ten or so celebrities whose lives were taken away by lymphoma. Recently, the Internet has also listed a dozen or so “celebrities” whose lives were lost to lymphoma. People’s fear of this “non-rare” malignant tumor is getting stronger and stronger. In fact, “lymphoma” is not as terrible as people think, and there are many people who have been cured, such as the most common diffuse large B-cell lymphoma in China, which is treated with rituximab (Meroval) in combination with CHOP regimen (Note: Rituximab is a monoclonal antibody that recognizes the B-lymphocyte surface marker “CD20”). “which binds to B-lymphocytes, and the tumor cells in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma are also derived from B-lymphocytes, so rituximab can “target” the tumor cells and subsequently initiate a series of biological effects to kill them. The CHOP regimen is the classic chemotherapy regimen for non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma and includes four drugs: cyclophosphamide (C), adriamycin (H), vincristine (O), and prednisone (P). With the treatment of early-stage patients, the cure rate is 70%. And more than 80% of early stage Hodgkin’s lymphoma can be cured. However, some patients are in stage III-IV once they are detected, and their scores are in the “high risk” group, which greatly affects the effectiveness of treatment. How can lymphoma be detected early? ”As the name suggests, lymphoma is a malignant tumor that occurs in lymphatic tissues and can grow in any part of the body where there are lymphatic tissues, and lymph nodes are the most common form of lymphatic tissues, mainly located in the neck, supraclavicular, axillary, and supraclavicular (located in the upper arm). They are mainly located in superficial parts of the body such as the neck, supraclavicular, axillary, supra-sliding (located on the inner side of the upper arm, 3-4 cm above the elbow fossa), groin, and in body cavities such as the chest and abdomen. Lymph nodes in superficial areas can be easily detected by touch, while lymph nodes in body cavities can be detected by ultrasound or CT scan. Most lymphomas begin with “progressive painless lymph node enlargement”, especially in the “neck”. Therefore, if a painless lump is felt in a superficial lymph node area and has a tendency to grow, it should not be taken lightly, and a lymph node biopsy should be performed as soon as possible to exclude “lymphoma”. Lymphomas hidden in the body cavity need to be detected through regular medical checkups, chest X-ray/CT or abdominal ultrasound. In short, the earlier the lymphoma is detected, the better the chance of cure.
