Symptoms before death from advanced lymphoma

Lymphoma brings a lot of harm to everyone in real life. It is very beneficial to know more about the manifestations of the disease. Many people today have a certain understanding of lymphoma. To treat lymphoma, you must use drugs rationally and not use them aimlessly. So, what are the signs of death in the late stage of lymphoma? What is the chemotherapy treatment for lymphoma?

Lymphoma is a malignant tumor originating from lymph nodes or lymphatic tissues. Its main clinical manifestation is painless, progressive lymphadenopathy. The disease can occur at any age, but the peak age of onset is between 31 and 40 years old, with the peak of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma slightly earlier. The male-to-female ratio is 2-3:1.

The signs of death in the late stage of lymphoma are specific, which are introduced below:

1. Gastrointestinal tract: Lymphoma lesions in extranodal lymphoid tissue are most common in the gastrointestinal tract, accounting for 13 to 25 percent of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and only 2 percent of Hodgkin's disease. Clinical manifestations include loss of appetite, abdominal pain, diarrhea, abdominal distension, intestinal obstruction and bleeding.

2. Skeleton: Clinical manifestations include local bone pain and secondary nerve compression detection symptoms.

3. Liver and gallbladder: Invasion of the liver parenchyma may cause pain in the liver area. Jaundice may occur when diffuse infiltration or enlarged lymph nodes in the liver press against the common bile duct. About 15% of patients with Hodgkin's disease involving the liver have jaundice.

4. Skin: Nonspecific damages commonly include pruritus and prurigo. Pruritus is more common in Hodgkin's disease (accounting for 85%) and may appear before other rashes. Severe sweat retention can also be seen occasionally, which is also a symptom of extranodal lesions in the late stage of lymphoma.

5. Patients with tonsil and oral, nasal and pharyngeal lymphoma invading the oral and nasopharyngeal regions may have clinical symptoms such as difficulty swallowing, nasal congestion and epistaxis. API specific biological immunotherapy.

The chemotherapy treatment for lymphoma is specific, as introduced below:

1. Chemotherapy is suitable for HD stage IIIB~V cases. Combined chemotherapy regimen MOPP6 courses can achieve a complete remission rate of 60% to 80%. One-half to one-third of cases maintain long-term remission, some for up to 15 years.

2. Low- and moderate-grade NHL stage III and VI and highly malignant stage I to IV cases are all suitable for chemotherapy, and regional radiotherapy can be performed as appropriate after the tumor is relieved.
