How to treat malignant lymphoma to prolong life

Lymphoma is a malignant tumor that mostly occurs in young and middle-aged people. The annual incidence rate in my country is as high as 20,000 to 30,000 people, and the mortality rate is quite high. Here we suggest that you learn more about the main causes of lymphoma and strengthen prevention in your life. So how can malignant lymphoma be treated to prolong life?

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.
