Lymphoma symptoms
Zhan Chusheng, a specialist in hematology and hematology-oncology, explained that the human body is covered with numerous networks of lymphatic channels and glands. Lymphocytes circulate and travel to various organs and tissues to resist bacterial infection. Once lymphocytes undergo malignant lesions, they will continue to proliferate or lose the function of cell senescence and apoptosis. As these immune lymphocytes gradually replace normal cells, the immune system’s ability to fight infection becomes increasingly weak. At the same time, the lymph nodes can become enlarged and form painless tumors called “lymphomas,” or lymphomas. The average age of onset of patients is 50 years old, and many cases are now in the 20-30-year-old group, and the age group is very young. Common symptoms of lymphoma include:
To prevent the occurrence of lymphoma, doctors suggest that you should maintain a regular life, do not stay up late, do not smoke or drink, exercise moderately, and have a balanced diet. Especially when there are physical abnormalities, you should seek medical examination as soon as possible, early detection and early treatment.
