• W3017259920 abstract "KNOWING WHAT IT IS. Lymphoma is a cancer of the lymphatic system, which is an essential part of the body’s germ-fighting network. The disease develops in lymphocytes, which are a type of white blood cells. Lymphocytes are made in bone marrow and are found in the blood and lymph tissue, as well as scattered all over the body in various areas (e.g., intestines, spleen, tonsils, and the lining of the airways). SORTING IT OUT. More than 70 different specific types of lymphoma exist, ranging from indolent (slow growing) to highly aggressive. Lymphomas are categorized into two main groups — Hodgkin’s lymphoma, which spreads in an orderly manner from one group of lymph nodes to another, and non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, which spreads throughout the body’s lymphatic system in a nonorderly fashion. There also are numerous subtypes within each of the two primary classes of the disease. SPEAKING OF STATISTICS. With regard to lymphoma, the numbers do not lie — lymphoma is a very serious disease, affecting a substantial number of Americans. In fact, every 5 minutes, someone in the United States is diagnosed with lymphoma. Furthermore, more than 100,000 Americans are initially diagnosed to have a type of lymphoma each year. As such, almost one million individuals are currently living with or are in remission from this insidious form of cancer. UNDERSTANDING PROBABILITIES. A number of factors have been identified as increasing the risk of lymphoma, including age, gender, having an impaired immune system, and the presence of certain infections. For example, some types of lymphoma are more common in younger individuals, whereas others tend to occur in people older than 55 years. In addition, not only are men more likely to develop lymphoma than women, but individuals who either have a weakened immune system or are suffering from infections also are more prone to contracting the disease. PINPOINTING THE LEVEL OF PROGRESSION. After an individual is diagnosed with lymphoma, physicians, before coming up with a treatment plan, determine the stage of the disease, i.e., how widespread is the cancer. As with most forms of cancer, lymphoma can generally be categorized as being in four different stages, using Roman numerals, I, II, III, and IV. In stage I, cancer has been found in one lymphatic area. In stage II, the cancer has been discovered in two or more lymph node groups on the same side of the diaphragm. In stage III, cancer has been located in lymph node areas on both sides of the diaphragm. In the most serious diagnosis, stage IV, the cancer has spread throughout the body beyond the lymph nodes. DETECTING THE PROBLEM. Early diagnosis improves lymphoma outcomes by providing care at the earliest possible moment. As such, the best way to find lymphoma early is to pay attention to the possible signs and symptoms of the disease. Of the various indicators, one of the most common is an enlargement of one or more lymph nodes. Other symptoms can include chills, feeling tired, fever, night sweats, swelling in the abdomen or limbs, and weight loss. Although these telltale measures are typically caused by something other than lymphoma, it is essential to have them checked out by a physician, especially if they persist or get worse. TAKING THE NEXT STEP. If individuals have signs or symptoms that suggest that they might have lymphoma, exams and tests will be performed to ascertain for sure, as well as determine the exact type of lymphoma. During these procedures, particular attention will be paid to the lymph nodes and other areas of the body that might be affected. Among the tests that might be undertaken are biopsies (to assess the size and shape of the cells and how they are arranged), imaging (to look for possible causes of certain symptoms), CT scan (to tell if any lymph nodes or organs are enlarged), and PET scan (to see if an enlarged lymph node contains lymphoma). DEALING WITH THE DISEASE. Fighting lymphoma can involve a variety of treatment options, often in combination. The precise regimen will vary depending on the individual’s type of lymphoma and its particular stage. Among the treatment choices for this cancerous condition are chemotherapy (which uses drugs to kill the cancer cells) and immunotherapy (which uses the body’s immune system to attack the cancer cells). BEATING THE ODDS. A person’s health outlook can vary depending on what kind of lymphoma they have and how far it has progressed. The age and general health of the patient also affect the survival rate for the disease. The important factor to remember is that all in all, lymphoma is relatively very treatable. Per se, it is not a death sentence. In reality, individuals in all four stages of the disease do and have survived. AVOIDING MISREPRESENTATIONS, UNTRUTHS, AND DISTORTIONS. Unfortunately, untested practices and exaggerated theories about how to treat lymphoma are occasionally advanced as a plausible treatment option for individuals with this disease. Such peddling of false information offers nothing but false hope, while taking money from people when they are most vulnerable." @default.
