What methods can be used to prolong life for lymphoma

Immune factors are one of the important causes of lymphoma. According to current research, the viruses that are closely related to lymphoma include Epstein-Barr virus, human T-lymphotropic virus, and human B-lymphotropic virus. The cause of lymphoma is not only related to the dose of radiation absorbed, but also to the age at the time of exposure. The incidence of lymphoma in people under 25 who are exposed to radiation is higher than that in other groups. So what methods can be used to prolong life in lymphoma?

1. Surgery is the most common treatment for lymphoma. In patients with intranodal lymphoma, surgery is mainly used for biopsy and pathology or for staging of partial abdominal exploration. For extranodal lymphoma originating in the brain, spinal cord, orbit, salivary gland, thyroid, lung, liver, spleen, etc., surgical resection is often performed first, followed by radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy. Lymphoma originating in the kidney, bladder, testicle, ovary, uterus, skin, breast, etc. should be surgically resected at an early stage, followed by chemotherapy or radiotherapy after surgery.
2. Radiotherapy. For non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma is more sensitive to radiotherapy, but the recurrence rate is high. For non-Hodgkin's lymphoma with primary lesions in the tonsils, nasopharynx, or histiocytes of the bone, local radiotherapy can achieve relatively satisfactory long-term relief. For Hodgkin's lymphoma, radiotherapy is more effective than lymphosarcoma and reticular cell sarcoma. During treatment, important organs are protected, skin reactions are mild, and bone marrow suppression may occur.
