6 issues that should be paid attention to in lymphoma chemotherapy

Before chemotherapy, lymphoma patients should understand the problems in treatment and deepen their understanding of lymphoma treatment so that they can better cooperate with doctors in treatment and achieve the best prognosis.

1. Treat as soon as possible: Once it is confirmed that you have lymphoma, you should receive treatment as soon as possible to save time.

2. Choose an appropriate treatment plan: Select a reasonable chemotherapy regimen based on the pathological cytological type and clinical stage. If there are no special circumstances, the standard regimen should be used as the first-line treatment.

3. Pay attention to the first course of treatment: The first course of treatment for malignant lymphoma is the key to success or failure. We should pay attention to the first course of treatment and strive to achieve complete remission in the first four cycles. If complete remission is not achieved in the first course of treatment, there is no possibility of cure.

4. Adequate treatment: Lymphoma chemotherapy must be adequate, the treatment cycle is generally 6 to 8 cycles, and the dosage intensity must be guaranteed.

5. Perform chemotherapy on time: Strictly adhere to the chemotherapy time. It is better to advance it than to delay it to avoid the progression of the disease.

6. Timely evaluation of therapeutic efficacy: Generally, the efficacy should be evaluated in a timely manner after two cycles of chemotherapy. If it is ineffective, the treatment plan should be changed in time.

Tips: What is first-line treatment?

First-line treatment and second-line treatment mostly refer to chemotherapy. First-line treatment is an effective treatment plan developed for the early stage of the disease, but chemotherapy will generally cause serious drug resistance after 6-8 times. At this time, second-line treatment can be considered, but second-line treatment is far less effective than first-line treatment.
