The main treatments for lymphoma

Lymphoma is a common malignant tumor, and the disease needs to be treated early. So, what are the treatments for lymphoma? In response to this question, let the experts introduce the treatments for lymphoma.

1. Treatment of lymphoma: surgical treatment of lymphoma For 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 lymphoma

(1) Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (lymphosarcoma and reticular cell sarcoma): Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma is also sensitive to radiotherapy, but the recurrence rate is high. Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma with primary lesions in the tonsils, nasopharynx, or histiocytes of the bone can achieve relatively satisfactory long-term remission after local radiotherapy.

(2) Hodgkin's lymphoma: Radiotherapy is more effective than that for lymphosarcoma and reticulum cell sarcoma. Important organs are protected during treatment, skin reactions are mild, and bone marrow suppression may occur. This is one of the treatments for lymphoma.

The above is the introduction of the treatment methods of lymphoma, which is for your reference only. I hope that patients with lymphoma can choose a regular hospital for treatment. In addition, if you have any questions about the treatment methods of lymphoma, please consult online experts!
