What to do with advanced lymphoma?

If the patient's primary lesion has been removed, the metastasis is single, and the patient is in good physical condition, the metastasis can also be removed. Surgery is generally not recommended. The treatment of advanced lymphoma requires comprehensive consideration of the patient's condition and situation, including the treatment of primary cancer and metastatic lesions. The purpose of advanced lymphoma treatment is not only to control the tumor and maximize survival, but also to protect the patient's normal body functions, relieve the patient's pain, and improve the quality of life.

Treatment of advanced lymphoma:

1. Chemotherapy and radiotherapy for advanced lymphoma: Radiotherapy should be selected according to the specific situation of the patient and can be used to control local symptoms. However, since radiotherapy and chemotherapy have different degrees of side effects, chemotherapy can be used as a common treatment for advanced lymphoma, which has a good effect on controlling tumors and killing cancer cells. It can also be combined with surgical resection to help improve the completeness of the operation.

2. Surgical palliative resection: Palliative surgical resection can be considered for patients who meet the surgical indications, such as good physical condition, single or no tumor metastasis, and the tumor body is within the range suitable for resection.

3. TCM treatment of advanced lymphoma: TCM is a commonly used conservative treatment method in clinical practice for advanced lymphoma, especially for advanced malignant tumors. TCM treatment can effectively control local and systemic symptoms. Although the tumor grows in a certain part of the body, it is actually a systemic disease, and local treatment often does not achieve satisfactory results.
