What are the main symptoms of lymphoma patients? How should I treat it?

Lymphoma is characterized by a lump in the armpit or neck, pain, night sweats, fever, and weight loss. This can be done surgically** or by chemotherapy**.

The main symptom is loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, dizziness and a series of symptoms, and the body will be particularly emaciated. In such a situation, you must go to the hospital for examination in time to understand the specific **.

Lymphoma originates from lymph nodes and lymphatic tissues, and is a malignant tumor of the immune system. So, what are the symptoms of lymphoma? What are the symptoms of lymphoma?

1. The clinical manifestations are as follows

**Progressive lymphadenopathy or local mass is a common clinical manifestation of lymphoma, with two characteristics: systemic and diverse.

Hodgkin lymphoma (HL): more common in young adults, ** is characterized by swollen lymph nodes, which compress adjacent organs and can cause symptoms. Lymph node pain caused by alcohol consumption is specific to HL.

There are many symptoms such as fever, night sweats, and weight loss, and itching can be the only symptom of HL.

Non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL): distant spread and extranodal invasion, ** lymphadenopathy is less common than HL; It is often characterized by high fever or symptoms of various organs and systems as the main clinical manifestations, causing infiltration and/or compression symptoms of destruction of the corresponding organs, such as: involving the gastrointestinal tract can cause abdominal pain, diarrhea and abdominal mass, ** The involvement is manifested as lumps, subcutaneous nodules, infiltrative plaques, etc.

2. Prevention of lymphoma

1.Develop good habits, quit smoking and limit alcohol. Smoking, the World Health Organization predicts that if people stop smoking, after 5 years, there will be 1 3 fewer cancers in the world; Second, don't drink too much.

Tobacco and alcohol are extremely acidic substances, and people who smoke and drink alcohol for a long time are very likely to lead to acidic constitution.

2.Do not overeat salty and spicy food, and do not eat excessively hot, cold, expired and spoiled food; People who are old and frail or have certain disease genes should eat some cancer-proof foods and alkaline foods with high alkali content as appropriate to maintain a good mental state.

3.Have a good attitude to deal with stress, combine work and rest, and don't be overtired. It can be seen that stress is an important cause of cancer, and traditional Chinese medicine believes that stress leads to overwork and weakness, which leads to the decline of immune function, endocrine disorders, and metabolic disorders in the body, resulting in the deposition of acidic substances in the body; Stress can also lead to mental tension, causing qi stagnation, blood stasis, poisonous fire, invagination, etc.

4.Strengthen physical exercise, enhance body fiber and rapid quality, exercise more in the sun, sweat more can excrete the acidic substances in the body with sweat, and avoid the formation of acidic constitution.

5.People with irregular living habits, such as singing karaoke all night, playing mahjong, and not returning home at night, will aggravate physical acidification and are prone to cancer. You should develop good lifestyle habits, so as to maintain a weak alkaline constitution and keep various cancer diseases away from you.

6.Do not eat contaminated food, such as contaminated water, crops, poultry and fish eggs, moldy food, etc., eat some green and organic food, and prevent diseases from entering the mouth.

Lymphoma is a very terrible disease, we have a lot of lymphatic tissue, lymph has a great effect on the vital activities of the human body, but if there is a problem, it will be more serious, many people suffer from lymphoma until the later stage, at this time, it is already very troublesome, what are the early symptoms of lymphoma? What are the early symptoms of lymphoma?

1. Fever

Hodgkin lymphoma has fever symptoms in the early stage, which is manifested as irregular fever, which can be continuous or indirect, and a few have periodic fever, and often sweating profusely after the fever has subsided. Non-Hodgkin lymphoma usually does not have febrile manifestations in the early stages, and fever often presents with extensive disease.

2. Swollen lymph nodes

**Progressive lymphadenopathy or local mass is a common clinical feature of lymphoma mimetic bump, and it is also one of the early first symptoms of lymphoma. Progressive enlargement of cervical or supraclavicular lymph nodes is common, followed by axillary lymphadenopathy. Enlarged lymph nodes may be movable, or they can stick to each other, fuse into lumps, and have a cartilaginous sensation when touched.

3. Systemic symptoms

There are no specific symptoms in the early onset of lymphoma, and the main systemic symptoms are fever, weight loss, night sweats, etc., and are often accompanied by loss of appetite, fatigue, itching, etc.; There may be local and generalized itching, mostly in young women; In addition, pruritus may present as the only systemic symptom of Hodgkin lymphoma.

4. Involvement of extra-lymph node organs

Because lymphatic binding lymphoid tissue is found throughout the body and communicates with the monocyte-macrophage system and the blood system, lymphoma can occur anywhere throughout the body. Among them, lymph nodes, tonsils, spleen and bones are the most susceptible to involvement, and the manifestations of organ involvement are also different due to the different lesion sites and stratigraphies.

5. Traditional Chinese Medicine**

The safety is good, there is no obvious ***, the patient suffers little, and it is easy to accept. In terms of application, regardless of whether patients with advanced disease are suitable for Western medicine methods such as surgery** and chemoradiotherapy, they can be carried out by traditional Chinese medicine**, and for patients who have lost the opportunity of Western medicine**, the use of traditional Chinese medicine methods for advanced lymphoma can also achieve good results.

What are the possible symptoms of malignant lymphoma?

Enlarged pharyngeal lymphatic ring: The tonsils of the oropharynx, nasopharynx, and base of the tongue form the pharyngeal lymphatic ring, also known as the Wechsler ring. Its mucosa and submucosa are rich in lymphoid tissue, which is a common site for malignant lymphoma.

When the lump enlarges, it can affect eating, breathing, or nasal congestion, and the lump has a certain hardness to the touch, and is often accompanied by cervical lymphadenopathy.

Extranodal lymphoma can invade the orbit, resulting in proptosis; may invade one or both breasts, resulting in a mass; It can invade bone, leading to bone pain, bone destruction and even pathological fractures.

Guangzhou Fuda Cancer Hospital has good technology, service, equipment and facilities, and after-sales service.

In fact, the symptoms of lymphoma are mainly felt in the swollen lymph nodes on the body, which are not painful or itchy in the early stage, so they are often ignored. Lymphoma is first detected as an enlarged lymph node in the neck, which starts as a single enlargement and gradually increases in number and enlargement. Lymphoma can occur in lymphoid tissues throughout the body, such as the jaw, jaw, anterior neck, supraclaviclavicular area, axillary area, groin, mediastinal lumen, or next to the abdominal artery, and sometimes in the organs causing compression symptoms; If it occurs in the stomach, small intestine or large intestine, there may be symptoms of peptic ulcer or gastrointestinal dysfunction such as bloating, blood in the stool, vomiting, abdominal pain, etc.

Symptoms of lymphoma].

If lymphoma invades the bone marrow, pancytopenia such as paleness, fever, abnormal bleeding, and sometimes abnormal lymphocytes may appear in the surrounding blood. Due to the different sites and extent of lymphoma cell invasion, the clinical manifestations are very inconsistent. The primary site can be either within the lymph node or in the lymphoid tissue outside the lymph node.

But in general, the symptoms of lymphoma manifest themselves in the following three ways:

1. Local manifestations.

1) Swollen lymph nodes: The symptoms of lymphoma include superficial and deep lymph nodes, which are characterized by progressive, high-quality, hard, multi-pushable, non-adhesion to each other in the early stage, fusion in the late stage, anti-inflammatory, anti-tuberculosis ** ineffective. Superficial lymph nodes are more common in the neck, followed by the axillary and ventral sulcus.

In the deep part, mediastinum and para-abdominal aorta are more common.

2) Symptoms of local compression caused by swollen lymph nodes: This refers to the symptoms of lymphoma in the deep lymph nodes, such as enlarged mediastinal lymph nodes, which compress the esophagus and cause dysphagia; compression of the superior vena cava causes superior vena cava syndrome; Compression of the trachea causes coughing, chest tightness, dyspnea and cyanosis.

2. Systemic manifestations.

1) Fever: The heat type is mostly irregular, between 3839C for many years, some patients can have continuous high fever, can also have intermittent low fever, and a few have periodic fever. These symptoms of lymphoma should be brought to the attention of the patient.

2) Emaciation: Most patients have weight loss, losing more than 10% of their original body weight within 6 months.

3. Extranodal lesions.

Lymphoma can invade all tissues and organs throughout the body. Therefore, the various manifestations of lymphoma symptoms should arouse the patient's multifaceted vigilance. For example, hepatosplenic infiltration causes hepatic plaque enlargement; gastrointestinal infiltrates cause abdominal pain, bloating, intestinal obstruction, and bleeding; pulmonary and pleural infiltrates cause cough and pleural effusion; bone infiltration causes bone pain, pathological fractures; **Infiltration causes**itching, subcutaneous nodules; infiltration of the tonsils and mouth, nose, and pharynx causes dysphagia, nasal congestion, and nasal buttons; Nervous system infiltration causes spinal cord compression, cranial neuropathy, and more.

Once you have the above signs and symptoms of lymphoma, you should go to the hospital for a check-up to determine if you have lymphoma.

Since the symptoms of lymphoma have different manifestations in different periods and are relatively changeable, it is necessary to arouse everyone's vigilance and do a good job in early prevention.

More patients present with ** cervical lymphadenopathy in the early stage, and other parts of the body are also found in the future. The lymph nodes range from soybean to jujube, medium hardness, tough, uniform, plump. Generally, it has no adhesion with **, does not fuse with each other in the early and middle stages, and can be moved.

In later stages, lymph nodes can grow to be very large. Can be integrated with each other.

The mediastinum is also one of the most common sites, and the invaded mediastinal lymph nodes can be a single lymphadenopathy or multiple lymph nodes fused into a huge mass, and the outer edge is wavy, invading one or both mediastinums, the latter is more common.

Primary hepatic malignant lymphoma is rare. It is not uncommon for the liver to be violated by the law. In some patients, hepatosplenomegaly may be the first symptom. It is the site of the longest invasion outside the lymph nodes. However, most of these patients have no obvious abnormalities.

About 2% of malignant lymphomas occur in the lungs and appear as round or lobulated shadows with well-defined boundaries within the lung field, and patients feel that they have few symptoms. Some patients may invade the hilar or mediastinal lymph nodes, and generally rarely have superior vena cava compression or mediastinal muscle paralysis, and the prognosis is also good. Malignant lymphomas that invade the lungs from the mediastinum are usually close to the hilum and are often connected, which can be unilateral or bilateral, and are often accompanied by paratracheal lymph and swelling of the pathopathic nodes, which are also prone to cause compression symptoms, and their prognosis is not as good as that of cases of primary pulmonary origin.

Malignant lymphoma of the small intestine affects more than 50% of mesenteric lymph nodes at the time of surgery, and the prognosis is poor if the small intestine mass is large, ulcerated, multiple, and invades the lymph nodes. Malignant lymphoma begins with lymphatic follicles in the submucosal layer of the intestinal mucosa, invades the mucosal layer inward, and reaches the muscular layer outward. Due to the invasion of tumor tissue in the mucosa and muscular muscularis, normal mucosal folds disappear and become flattened.

The intestinal wall thickens, stiffens, and even peristalsis disappears.
