Like other cancers, lymphomas, occur whencells divide too much and too fast. Growth control is lost, and the lymphaticcells may overcrowd, invade, and destroy lymphoid tissues and metastasize(spread) to other organs. There are two general types oflymphomas: Hodgkin’s disease (named after Dr. Thomas Hodgkin, whofirst recognized it in 1832) and non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. The lymphatictissue in Hodgkin’s disease contains specific cells (called Reed-Sternbergcells) that are not found in any other cancerous lymphomas or cancers. Thesecells distinguish Hodgkin’s disease (HD) from non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL). Signs and Symptoms Themost common sign of both Hodgkin’s disease (HD) and non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma(NHL) is a painless swelling in one or more of the lymph nodes of the neck,collarbone region, armpits, or groin. But it is important to remember thatmost lymph node swelling (especially in children) is caused by an infection,not by lymphoma. Affected lymph nodes usually return to normal size within afew weeks or months after an infection has cleared. Physicians often observeswollen lymph nodes during this time to see if they change in size followingantibiotic treatment. However, if a lymph node(s) is larger than one inch insize (> 1 in), and if there are other suspicious symptoms, the physician maychoose to perform an immediate biopsy to rule out or confirm diagnosis ofcancer. If HD or NHL involves lymphatic tissue within the abdomen the belly maybecome swollen, and even resemble pregnancy in some female patients. Fluid maybuild up within the abdominal cavity, and swelling near the intestines mayblock the normal passage of stool. Such blockage may cause sensations ofabdominal pressure or pain. Otherlymphoma symptoms include the following – Chest pain Trachea General symptoms, also sometimes called B symptoms Chest Pain If lymphoma involves the lymphatic tissue of the thymus, the gland located infront of the heart, it may cause chest pain. In addition, an enlarged thymusmay press on nearby structures such as the trachea (windpipe) or superior venacava (SVC), the large vein that carries blood from the head and arms back tothe heart. Trachea Pressure on the trachea can leadto coughing, fatigue, shortness of breath, and other respiratory difficulties.Pressure on the superior vena cava may produce SVC syndrome, a swelling of thehead and arms. SVC syndrome involving the brain can be fatal and must betreated immediately. But enlarged lymphatic tissue in the chest cavitygenerally tends to displace, rather than press upon or encase, adjacentstructures. Therefore, compromised breathing and SVC syndrome are relativelyuncommon signs of lymphoma. General Symptoms As lymphoma progresses and cancerous lymphocytes spread beyond the lymphaticsystem, the body loses its ability to fight infections. The generalizedsymptoms that develop may be confused with influenza (the flu), otherinfections, such as infectious mononucleosis (“mono”) andtuberculosis (TB), or other cancers. In particular, people with HD or NHL mayexperience the following – Fever Drenching night sweats Weight loss Fatigue Loss of appetite Red patches on the skin Severely itchy skin, often affecting the legs/feet Theitching associated with Hodgkin’s disease is much more severe than that causedby dry skin. In some cases, patients may actually break the skin with theirfingernails in attempts to get some relief. The night sweats caused by HD orNHL may be so extreme that the bed sheets and blankets become drenched. Someoncologists refer to these generalized symptoms as B symptoms. Unfortunately,these symptoms are related to an increased Cancer “burden” (i.e.,larger amount of cancerous tissue) in many patients and often are associatedwith a worse outcome (prognosis). General Treatment Thetreatment of lymphoma depends on many factors, the most important of which arethe type of disease, its stage, its site (location), whether the lymphoma isslow- or fast-growing, and the age and general health of theindividual. Other factors that may enter into the treatment plan includesymptoms, whether surgery was used in staging the disease, and pregnancy. Fortunately,many advances have been made in the treatment of both Hodgkin’s disease (HD)and non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL) in recent years. Over 75% of newly diagnosedHD patients are cured by the latest methods of Chemotherapy and radiationtherapy, and the Survival Statistics for NHL patients are improving. Treatmentplans for children vary according to the age, physical development, and sexualmaturity of the individual child. General Treatment Options In general, there are five options available for the treatment of adultlymphoma – Chemotherapy to kill lymphoma cells using strong anticancer drugs Radiation therapy to kill lymphoma cells by exposure to high-energy radiation Stem cell transplantation (SCT) to enable treatment with high doses of chemotherapy and radiation therapy Biological therapies that use naturally occurring substances of the immune system to stop lymphoma progression Surgery to remove confined, lymphomas outside the lymph nodes (extranodal) in organs such as the thyroid or stomach Oncologists(cancer specialists) administer these treatments in a variety of combinations.Each method has its advantages and drawbacks. It usually is worthwhile to get asecond opinion about treatment before entering into a specific program. In someinstances, a second opinion may be required by the patient’s insurance company.For example, stem cell transplantation (SCT) is costly and requires anextensive hospital stay. Some insurance companies still consider this to be an”experimental” procedure and will not pay for SCT-related expenses. Why consider India for Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma Treatment in India ?
