Lymphoma: known as the “silent cancer”
According to information from the Hong Kong Anti-Cancer Society and Smart Friends, lymphoma is a cancer of the lymphatic system. When lymphocytes in the human body undergo malignant changes, they continue to proliferate in the lymph nodes and form tumors. Lymphoma can be mainly divided into two categories: “Hodgkin lymphoma” and “non-Hodgkin lymphoma”. Among them, “non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma”, the eighth deadliest cancer in Hong Kong, is the most common and can occur anywhere in the body. The incidence is relatively undetectable and can be classified into three categories: chronic, malignant, and highly malignant lymphoma. Among them, patients with malignant lymphoma and high-grade malignant lymphoma develop very quickly if they do not receive appropriate treatment, and may lose their precious lives within a few months.
Symptoms can easily be confused with other illnesses
Symptoms of lymphoma are usually not obvious and can easily be confused with other illnesses. The six most common symptoms are:
If the cancer cells have spread to the bone marrow and damaged the hematopoietic system, patients may develop anemia, bruising, infection, etc. However, these symptoms may be similar to other illnesses and may not be related to lymphoma. Therefore, when the above symptoms persist, patients should seek medical attention as soon as possible.
The medical community does not yet fully understand the causes of lymphoma, but recent research reports have shown that the following risk factors increase the risk of developing lymphoma:
- genetic disease
- Viral infection (such as HIV infection)
- radiation
- chemical medicine
- Immune system disorders in the body (such as rheumatoid arthritis, AIDS, and immunosuppressants after organ transplantation)
Zhan Chusheng, a specialist in hematology and hematological oncology, once said in an interview that the average age of onset of lymphoma is 50 years old, and many recent cases belong to the 20 to 30 years old group, which is a very young. age range. Although younger patients are easier to cure, chemotherapy can cause long-term damage to the heart and lungs. In contrast, for older patients over 65 years old, age, physical condition and even dosage standards are difficult to control. the chances of radical cure are relatively low.
To prevent the occurrence of lymphoma, you need to lead a regular lifestyle, not stay up late, not smoke or drink, exercise moderately, and eat a balanced diet. Especially when physical abnormalities occur, you should consult a doctor as soon as possible for early detection and treatment.
