What tests should be done for lymphoma metastasis

Lymphoma is a malignant tumor with lesions in the hematopoietic lymphatic system throughout the body. The clinical symptoms of early lymphoma are unclear, and are currently believed to be caused by viral infection, radiation, and autoimmune system diseases. Patients may mistakenly believe that the lymph nodes are swollen due to fatigue, colds, or inflammation, and there is no pain.

1. Check whether the patient's lymph nodes are swollen and whether they have invaded nearby skin, paying special attention to the neck, breasts, and perineum.

2. The doctor observes the patient's veins, lymph nodes, and trachea to see if there is any obstruction or compression.

3. To confirm lymphoma, a tissue smear biopsy is required to observe the tissue cells under a microscope. Specific examinations include blood routine and blood smear, bone marrow smear and biopsy, blood biochemistry, cerebrospinal fluid examination, tissue pathology examination and TCR or IGH gene rearrangement.

4. If lymphoma has been diagnosed, a full body examination is still required. At present, the main medical treatments for lymphoma are radiotherapy, chemotherapy, bone marrow transplantation, and surgery. Although lymphoma is not easy to be completely cured, with the current treatment methods, chemotherapy has a good effect. If patients with early lymphoma are treated in time, the cure rate is as high as 90%. Early detection, early examination, and timely treatment are important factors for recovery!

Once you find any abnormal changes in your body, you should go to a regular hospital for examination in time. Local tertiary hospitals can accurately diagnose. After systematic treatment in a regular hospital, 90% of lymphoma can be cured. Patients should maintain a good attitude, actively cooperate with doctors for treatment, relax, and early detection and early examination are the top priorities for the recovery of all diseases.
