Is lymphoma hereditary? What is the treatment for lymphoma?

Whether lymphoma can be inherited is related to genetics, as well as viruses, bacterial infections, decreased immunity, environment, biochemical carcinogens, ionizing radiation, etc. It should be pointed out that the tumor itself is not inherited. The inheritance of family lymphoma refers to the quality of the tumor. Some people's body quality is prone to cancer under the action of carcinogens, or their immunity to abnormal cells is low, leading to the occurrence of tumors.

The possibility of cancer is not true cancer, but the chance of cancer is greater than that of ordinary people. The constitution of cancer has only certain internal causes. If the influence and role of external carcinogenic factors are added, cancer will occur. Therefore, some patients diagnosed with lymphoma may have genetic factors.

Treatments for lymphoma include:

1. Surgical treatment

In patients with intranodal lymphoma, surgery is mainly used for pathological biopsy or staging abdominal exploration. Extranodal lymphomas such as brain, spinal cord, orbit, salivary gland, thyroid, lung, liver, spleen are often resected first, followed by radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy. Primary lymphomas such as kidney, bladder, testicle, ovary, uterus, skin, and breast should be surgically resected early, followed by chemotherapy or radiotherapy.

2. Radiotherapy

Biological immunotherapy for lymphoma is widely used. It has obvious therapeutic effects on primary tumors and metastases in almost all tumor patients, and can eliminate residual tumor cells after surgery and prevent tumor recurrence. It has fewer side effects than radiotherapy and chemotherapy, and only causes fever and cold-like side effects. It does not damage normal tissues, can enhance immunity, and improve physical condition.
