2004, Ms. Chen was diagnosed with brain lymphoma, after chemotherapy, has now spent five years steady. She said with a smile, the face of disease, their attitude is very good, to the park every day, exercise, mental sparkling star, she is like a cancer.
Guangdong Provincial People's Hospital Cancer Center, Dr. Li Wenyu, deputy director, said Hodgkin lymphoma is divided into two major categories of payments and non-Hodgkin's, the former for more than 85% cure rate, which although dangerous, but more than half of patients after chemotherapy, immuno-chemotherapy and radiotherapy can be eased, lesions disappeared.
The cause of lymphoma is not currently clear, the experts generally agreed that an increase in lymphoma patients with the accelerated pace of life, work pressures and long hours in the mobile phones, computers and other electronic radiation environment, leading to a decline in the human immune system. In addition, frequent hair dye, family use of non-environmentally friendly decorating materials, high incidence of lymphoma may be one of the main factors.
Cancer Hospital of Guangzhou Medical College, director of physician Zou Qingfeng chemotherapy introduction of human lymph nodes 600-700 months, we can only touch the body a variety of superficial lymph nodes, such as the neck, armpits, groin and other parts of the lymph nodes, and These lymph nodes is very small, no more than 1 centimeters in diameter. "The first symptom of lymphoma is often the neck or supraclavicular lymph nodes, followed by axillary lymph nodes, superficial. However, people still know little about the disease, there are a lot of cognitive errors."
Myth # 1: cervical lymph nodes is a lymphoma under
Zou Qingfeng that when certain parts of the body when inflammation occurs, microorganisms can cause swollen lymph nodes, such as inflammation of the mouth, tonsils and neck lymph nodes caused by inflammation of Deng Jun. In general, tonsil inflammation caused by cervical lymph nodes become smaller after taking anti-inflammatory drugs, until dissipated. But lymphoma is different, and eat after the anti-inflammatory drugs, although the mass becomes small, but shortly afterwards come back, and bigger and bigger.
Myth # 2: superficial lymph nodes do not have control
Because the initial onset showed only a painless, progressive lymphadenopathy, patients often neglect, that do not care about superficial lymph nodes, resulting in delayed treatment opportunity.
Myth # 3: plaster to "detox" can reduce the swelling
The neck is obviously lymphoma, but many patients go to a small number of irregular use of traditional Chinese medicine clinics in ointment to reduce the swelling. Zou Qingfeng said remedies do not rule out that some of these lumps can become smaller, so that patients would do so "effective" and continue to paste ointment, paste or even get the skin fester pus. Until a good number of lymph nodes swollen like a big goose egg, before going to the regular hospital.
Myth # 4: a biopsy can cause tumors to spread and do
Lymph node biopsy for lymphoma diagnosis is very important. Zou Qingfeng said, "but a lot of people when the neck lymph nodes, very afraid of doing biopsies, I feel a lymph node puncture or cuts out, the body may cause cancer spread."
Fear of biopsy intolerable! Zou Qingfeng said that a high degree of suspicion for malignant lesions of the lymph nodes to biopsy is the most reliable diagnostic method. The trauma of biopsy is very small, only a small amount of blood or tissue fluid leakage, do not cause tumors to spread. Secondly, usually diagnosed in the biopsy will begin soon after the formal treatment, cancer will not have an opportunity.
Myth # 5: Surgical removal of all right
Lymphoma is a rather special kind of tumor, and different from other solid tumors. Lymphoma is a systemic disease, local tumor excision through surgery would be the way, there is no way to achieve a real therapeutic purposes. For the lymphoma treatment is used more systemic medication.
