How long can you live if Hodgkin's lymphoma relapses

How long can you live with Hodgkin's lymphoma metastasis? Hodgkin's lymphoma is no longer a terminal illness, and cancer has gradually become a chronic disease. How long can you live with Hodgkin's lymphoma metastasis depends on the treatment, the patient's physical condition and condition, which can determine the survival period. The specific treatment methods are as follows:

1. Surgical treatment

In the past, surgical resection was used to treat localized lesions in early Hodgkin's lymphoma, but it is no longer used because the effect is not better than local radiotherapy. However, surgical treatment is still used as an auxiliary treatment in special cases, such as those with hypersplenism and gastrointestinal lesions. Surgery is particularly important in the diagnosis and pathological analysis of Hodgkin's lymphoma.

2. Radiation therapy

Radiotherapy is one of the main effective methods for the treatment of Hodgkin's lymphoma. In recent decades, with the development of science and technology, high-energy treatment machines such as 60CO treatment machines and linear accelerators have been introduced. Due to their large radiation dose, strong penetration and wide range, they have significantly improved the cure rate of Hodgkin's lymphoma. However, they also cause great damage to normal tissues in the radiation field, so the radiation dose and range should be properly controlled in the treatment of Hodgkin's lymphoma to reduce complications.

3. Chemotherapy

In the past 20 years, the drug treatment of Hodgkin's disease has made great progress, mainly due to the improvement of treatment strategies and the increase of effective chemotherapy regimens. Currently, many scholars have reported that the cure rate of patients with Hodgkin's disease in stages II to IV has exceeded 50%.

4. Traditional Chinese Medicine Treatment

In my country, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma is the most common. In recent years, with the accumulation of experience and the development of integrated Chinese and Western medicine treatment, both short-term and long-term efficacy have been significantly improved, and to a considerable extent, it has become a type of curable disease. Radiotherapy and chemotherapy for patients with malignant lymphoma are still the main treatment options. However, radiotherapy and chemotherapy also damage normal tissue cells. Although they can relieve urgency, they cannot prevent the recurrence of the disease, and they can also suppress the patient's immune function and cause serious complications. Through syndrome differentiation and treatment, Chinese medicine plays its overall regulatory role, has the advantage of multi-directional regulation in enhancing human immunity, and has distinct characteristics in the prevention and treatment of cancer. In the treatment of malignant lymphoma, the use of Chinese and Western medicines can enhance the efficacy, reduce toxic side effects, improve the quality of life of patients, and prolong survival.

5. Treatment of relapsed Hodgkin lymphoma

How long can you live with Hodgkin's lymphoma metastasis? Even if the treatment of Hodgkin's lymphoma is timely and the lesion is limited in scope, some patients will relapse after several years. The site of relapse can be a group of lymphatic tissues in the body, either in situ, or in the adjacent lymphatic tissues of the lesion site before treatment, or in distant metastasis, or in the body. If HD patients who have received radiotherapy before relapse use the MOPP regimen after relapse, chemotherapy still has a high complete remission rate (705-765). If chemotherapy or chemotherapy plus radiotherapy has been used before relapse, the complete remission rate will drop significantly if chemotherapy is used again after relapse. Relapse cases of various tissue types have long-term effects on the MOPP regimen.
