Treatment of non Hodgkin's lymphoma

summary

My colleague is only 24 years old this year, but in the past few months, he felt very tired and had a cough and fever. He thought he was going to catch a cold, so he bought some cold medicine and took it, but he didn't get better after taking it for several days. On the contrary, there are symptoms of dyspnea. Later, he had to go to the hospital to see a doctor. After the examination, the doctor told his colleagues that he was suffering from lymphoma. After several months of treatment, his colleagues' condition was under control. The next thing I want to talk about is the treatment of non Hodgkin's lymphoma.

Treatment of non Hodgkin's lymphoma

First: surgical treatment: in patients with intranodal malignant lymphoma, surgery is mainly used for biopsy or staging abdominal exploration. For primary extranodal malignant lymphoma in brain, spinal cord, orbit, salivary gland, thyroid, lung, liver and spleen, surgery is often performed first, followed by radiotherapy and / or chemotherapy. Chemotherapy and / or radiotherapy were used after operation.

Second, adjuvant radiotherapy or chemotherapy: (1) the effect of radiotherapy is better than that of lymphosarcoma and reticulosarcoma, and the "Cape" or "inverted" Y "radiation fields are more widely used; (2) there are more chemotherapy drugs and schemes, which should be comprehensively considered according to clinical stage, lesion location, pathology, age and other factors.

Third: prevention of recurrence: lymphoma treatment can not be taken lightly, still need regular review. After treatment, the risk of recurrence in the first two years is relatively high, and the frequency of reexamination is higher. Reexamination is usually carried out once every 3-4 months, once every half a year after two years, and once every year after five years.
