Is there a high possibility of lymphoma recurrence?

Lymphoma recurrence is a common problem and also a very frightening problem. Therefore, understanding the recurrence rate can help patients make a comprehensive evaluation of their condition. So is the recurrence rate of lymphoma high? Let's take a look at the detailed introduction below, hoping it will be helpful to everyone.

Even for patients with malignant tumors who achieve complete remission after chemotherapy or combined radiotherapy, the tumor cells have not been completely eradicated. The so-called complete remission is only a preliminary treatment success in a clinical sense. Many cells remaining in the body will still cause tumor recurrence. The recurrence rate of lymphoma is still very high if it is not prevented.
As for the recurrence, it varies according to the tumor type, each person's physical condition and nursing situation. The risk of recurrence is relatively high in the first two years after the end of treatment. Although the initial treatment of Hodgkin's lymphoma is relatively effective and the complete remission rate is also high, about one-quarter to one-third of cases will relapse.
There are big differences between different types of lymphoma. The recurrence rate of peripheral T-cell lymphoma is very high. Most indolent lymphomas cannot be completely cured with current treatments and may relapse sooner or later. Burkitt lymphoma rarely relapses one year after the end of treatment.
