Under the pressure of the middle-aged easy to get lymphoma

Died of heart failure caused by complications due to lymphoma

Since some time ago China Central Television host Rockingham's death, there are a variety of online information and argument. According to reports, Rockingham CCTV in May last year, the internal examination, found suffering from lymphoma, but he insists that the work done live coverage of the Olympic Games. This year in February, Rockingham transferred from Peking University, Beijing 307 Hospital Cancer Hospital has successfully conducted allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant. A month later, the body carrying out its review found that lymphoma cells in lymph nodes disappeared in remission. This year, May 29, Rockingham Hospital, also celebrated his 48-year-old's birthday. However, a few days later, his condition worsened, and June 5 death of treatment ineffective. "Reported that Luo Jing was caused by complications of a sudden heart and circulatory failure, his condition deteriorated leading to death." Expert pointed out that both heart failure due to complications caused by the disease itself, it may be chemotherapy or allogeneic transplant side effects caused can not speculate on this. "Whatever his specific condition, treatment, how the death of Rockingham should give us sounded the alarm. But we have to clear than other tumors, lymphoma is also a better prognosis of the tumor, the overall 5-year survival rate can reach more than 50%, and Rockingham's death simply because I say that this is an incurable disease. "expert said.

Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation can improve chemotherapy

Rockingham's death was allegedly carried out before a hematopoietic stem cell transplantation for lymphoma treatment, in the end what is hematopoietic stem cell transplantation therapy, what areas need attention? We asked the experts to you to read in detail:

Experts, lymphoma is a malignant tumor sensitive to chemotherapy, while patients with the common toxicity is the inhibition of hematopoietic stem cells, white blood cells and platelet reduction. Chemotherapy combined with autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation has been on the extension of the maturity of treatment modalities. This method is to protect the patient's hematopoietic function, before they advance in the treatment of hematopoietic stem cells taken out of the body, then chemotherapy. After chemotherapy, even if this function destroyed, but also not afraid to use his own hematopoietic stem cells, lose go back, this would serve two purposes, one to improve the dose intensity of chemotherapy drugs, while also avoiding a special high-strength doses of chemotherapy to patients hematopoietic stem cells caused by devastating blow. But decided to do stem cell transplantation before you clear points:

1, with obvious adverse prognostic factors, moderate, high grade NHL and HL in newly diagnosed patients with low-grade but progress rapidly, young and drug-resistant patients with recurrent drug-resistant patients with difficult to achieve complete remission before considering.

2, we should consider the patient's age, liver, kidney, heart can not tolerate questions.

3, funding, because funding for hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is more expensive, and the other, it is necessary to prepare mentally before transplantation to find a doctor to learn more about the entire migration process, risk assessment, the prognosis of the situation, make full psychological preparation.
Susceptibility to lymphoma, large white-collar work pressure

According to experts, lymphoma is primary in the lymph nodes or other lymphoid tissues of malignant tumors, malignant tumors in China, one of the ten common in hematological malignancies, the incidence rate of leukemia after, from children to elderly people are cancer of the lymphatic system may occur. Because the lymphatic system is very important to the human body's immune organization, but young adults during the lymphatic system is a very active state, in such a state there is relatively more cancer patients.

As for the cause of lymphoma, Fu-Xiang Zhou introduced, its causes more complicated, only a rough idea of the human body defense system deficiencies, viral infections and other factors. To be sure, the lymphoma incidence increased gradually, and the present environmental pollution is increasing the pace of life a gradual acceleration of increased work pressure and long hours in poorly ventilated environment, hair, or use of non-environmentally-friendly decoration materials and so on are the relationship between these factors may increase the incidence of lymphoma, even though the young are not spared.

Psychological pressure is too large, irregular work and rest is the incidence of lymphoma, one of the incentives, long-term mental stress, stay up late and so on, will cause a decline in the immune system, will result in the invasion of the virus an opportunity, induced lymphoma.

Rockingham alive once said he "Although done for so many years, and always felt considerable pressure," he used "treading on thin ice" to describe their daily working conditions, especially in the major news happens.

Attention to early signs of lymphatic disease

Experts, the lymph nodes is to produce the body's immune substances in place, it constitutes a lymph tissue lymph tissue distribution network in the body, so different from the lymphoid tissues such as solid organ liver, its spread throughout the body, but also with the blood and immune systems in close related.

In pharyngitis, tonsil inflammation of the mouth ulcers and even when the jaw, neck on the emergence of the packet that we are the body's lymph in and fight the bacteria invade the body, they are a disease response, under normal circumstances is not all right for .

The early symptoms of lymphoma in common with many "small problems" are very similar, except the neck, armpit or groin lymph node swelling of the nuclear painless, but also fever, night sweats, weight loss and fatigue and other symptoms, personal and even doctors are easily be deceived, so missed treatment opportunities.

Experts suggest that individuals without a clear reason for the conduct of lymph node enlargement, especially the neck, collarbone area or armpits, groin area; by the general anti-inflammatory treatment ineffective "lymph node tuberculosis" and "chronic lymphadenitis"; repeated lymph nodes ; or long-term low-grade fever, periodic fever, in particular, accompanied by sweating, weight loss, etc., should go to hospital for an examination in order to win the first time to capture traces of the disease.
 
Once the true risk of lymphoma, there is no need to worry too much. The preferred treatment is chemotherapy, the treatment of lymphoma usually do not need surgery. In recent years, for certain types of lymphoma using monoclonal antibody targeted therapy can significantly improve the therapeutic effect. For the terminally ill, can be used to increase the intensity of chemotherapy and subsequent stem cell transplantation to improve the cancer cell-killing rate and the success rate of treatment of diseases.

Is divided into low-grade malignant lymphoma, moderate, high-grade malignant and three kinds, if it is in the low-grade malignant lymphoma, were treated get a long lifetime; while a number of high-grade malignant lymphoma, the rapid development of the course of the disease, treatment difficulty larger in patients with a lower survival rate. Clinical statistics of the results from the current point of view, lymphoma tumor inside quite good, and their low-grade malignant lymphoma, the cure rate has greatly improved, over half of patients survive more than five years to achieve.
