Lymphoma is clinically known as lymphoma. Diagnosis of lymphoma requires a comprehensive judgment by combining clinical manifestations, imaging examination and pathological examination, which is the gold standard for diagnosis.
Lymphoma is a malignant tumor originated from lymphatic tissues, which can occur in lymphatic tissues all over the body, including lymph nodes all over the body and lymphatic tissues within tissues and organs.
Lymphomas that are mainly characterized by enlarged lymph nodes require biopsy through lymph node dissection or puncture to diagnose and clarify their pathological types. If the lymphoma occurs in the lymphatic tissue of a tissue or organ, such as gastric lymphoma or lung lymphoma, endoscopic biopsy is required to clarify the diagnosis.
Pathological examination can clarify the pathological type of lymphoma, but imaging examination is still needed to determine the extent of tumor involvement, and then determine the stage and provide the basis for the next step of treatment, such as thoracic and abdominal CT, PET-CT, and so on.
Patients suffering from lymphoma are recommended to go to the hospital as soon as possible to complete the above examinations, so that the diagnosis can be clarified and the staging can be evaluated in time, and the treatment plan can be guided under the guidance of professional doctors. The prognosis of lymphoma is relatively good, many patients can be cured by chemotherapy, and in recent years, new treatments such as targeted therapy and cellular immunotherapy have greatly improved the survival period of certain refractory lymphoma, so it is recommended for patients to take active treatment.
