Surgical treatment of lymphoma

summary

Last summer, there was a big bump on my grandfather's back, the size of his thumb. At first I thought it was a poison sore or something, but later I didn't see any pus or swelling or pain. Then I had a little doubt whether it was a tumor or something. When I went to the hospital for examination, it was lymphoma, which we had never heard of before. Later, it was under the careful explanation of the doctor that I understood. After treatment and conditioning, now my grandfather is recovering well and his body is stronger than before. Now let me talk about the treatment of lymphoma surgery.

Surgical treatment of 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.
