Lymphoma is mainly related to malignant changes in immune cells, it is a malignant tumor that must be treated professionally to have a chance of being cured, and usually does not heal on its own.
Lymphoma is divided into Hodgkin’s lymphoma and non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Hodgkin’s lymphoma has now become a tumor curable by chemotherapy, but non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma is prone to early distant spread and is not easy to be cured.
1. Hodgkin’s lymphoma: relatively rare but with a high cure rate, the treatment is mainly a combination of chemotherapy plus radiotherapy. It mainly adopts ABVD program and so on, i.e. the use of doxorubicin, bleomycin, vincristine and dacarbazide drugs.
2. Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma: Since it occurs in multiple centers, the treatment is mainly chemotherapy. Different types of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma are treated with different chemotherapy regimens. For example, CD20-positive patients can be treated with targeted drug rituximab, and those with hypersplenism can undergo splenectomy if there are indications for splenectomy.
There are many different types of lymphoma, so you should go to the hospital to judge the type under systematic and professional examination and choose the appropriate treatment under the guidance of professional doctors to improve the cure rate and quality of life.
