How much does it cost to treat lymphoma? What are the side effects and treatment measures of radiotherapy for lymphoma?

1. Currently, the cost of surgery and chemotherapy for lymphoma is more than 10,000 yuan, and the treatment effect is not ideal. Surgical treatment is limited to local treatment, and chemotherapy has too many side effects and recurrence and metastasis. Many patients are worried about the cost of lymphoma treatment.

2. In fact, there is no unified standard. Generally speaking, the cost of treating lymphoma is fixed, but because each person's physical condition is different, the cost will be different, depending on the patient's physical condition.

3. The patient's cancer stage and chosen treatment will also affect the cost of cancer treatment.

The side effects and treatment measures of radiotherapy for lymphoma are as follows:

1. Anorexia and vomiting are common side effects of radiotherapy for lymphoma, most of which are caused by gastrointestinal dysfunction caused by radiotherapy. The treatment measures are that patients should pay attention to bed rest and drink plenty of water to facilitate the excretion of metabolites. Food should be carefully prepared, small meals should be eaten frequently, and easily digestible food should be eaten. Do not eat overly sweet, spicy, greasy, or smelly food, or eat salty snacks and food. You can choose to eat appetizers such as hawthorn to relieve nausea.

2. If the body temperature exceeds 38 degrees and causes headaches and general discomfort, you can use appropriate antipyretic drugs or cold compress the head with a wet towel. After further clarifying the cause of the fever, take appropriate measures.

3. Radiotherapy for lymphoma leads to a decrease in peripheral blood count. At this time, dietary conditioning should be strengthened to promote hematopoietic function and reduce radiation damage to the bone marrow. Food should contain high vitamins and high proteins. For those with a significant decrease, drugs that increase blood count should be selected.
