How long can you live with early lymphoma

Lymphoma is one of the ten most common malignant tumors in my country. It is more common in middle-aged and young people, and more male patients than female patients. Many people have a wrong understanding of cancer, which often leads them to equate cancer with a terminal illness, and lymphoma is no exception. Since lymphoma is painless in the early stages, it is often ignored.

Since the survival period of each patient is different, it depends on the patient's response to the treatment drugs and whether the treatment is appropriate. It is difficult to have a clear answer to how long a lymphoma patient can live. The treatment of lymphoma is a systematic process involving many factors. In general, how long a lymphoma patient can live depends mainly on whether the treatment method is appropriate and the patient's physical function.

If a cancer patient has successfully passed the fifth year after treatment, the chance of tumor recurrence is less than 10%, and the patient can be considered cured. Although there is still a large gap in the treatment effects of different subtypes of lymphoma, the overall efficacy has been greatly improved, and it has become one of the malignant tumors with the best treatment effect among the few curable cancers.
