It is found that the incidence of lymphoma in China is increasing day by day, and it has now become one of the top ten malignant tumors in China. Many friends are concerned about this question: Can lymphoma be cured? Explain that lymphoma is a curable disease, and 50% of early patients can be cured using immunotherapy, chemotherapy, and targeted therapy. Incidence and causes: Lymphoma is a malignant tumor originating from the lymphatic system, which is mainly divided into two categories: Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL) and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL). Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma is more common in Chinese patients, accounting for more than 80% of lymphoma. With the rapid development of modern society in recent years, lymphoma has quietly squeezed into the list of China's top ten malignant tumors. Data show that the incidence of lymphoma in China is currently about 691,100, increasing at a rate of 5% per year, with about 50,000 new patients each year. Among them, the incidence of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma has rapidly increased from 2.1 million in the last century to 7.1 million. The cause of lymphoma has not yet been fully clarified, and may be related to some viruses such as EB virus infection, aggravated pollution of the living environment, excessive contact with organic solvents and dyes, and long-term exposure to electronic radiation. Clinical manifestations: Symptoms of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma include swollen lymph nodes (in the neck, armpits or groin), cough, shortness of breath, unexplained weight loss, low fever, excessive sweating (especially at night), etc. However, these symptoms are sometimes not very obvious and are often easily ignored by patients. The author believes that if the symptoms can be detected early and timely treatment is sought, the cure rate will be greatly improved. |
