Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma-NHL
Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL) is a type of cancer that originates in the lymphatic system, particularly affecting lymphocytes.
It can manifest as painless swelling of lymph nodes, fatigue, fever, and unexplained weight loss. Early diagnosis through biopsy and imaging enables tailored therapy, including chemotherapy, immunotherapy, or stem cell transplant to improve survival rates and quality of life.
Causes and Risk Factors of Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma
NHL develops when lymphocytes grow uncontrollably due to genetic or environmental factors.
- Immune suppression: People with weakened immune systems are at higher risk
- Viral infections like EBV or HIV
- Genetic mutations affecting cell growth and apoptosis
Symptoms and Clinical Features of NHL
Symptoms vary depending on lymph node involvement and disease stage.
- Painless swelling of lymph nodes in neck, armpits, or groin
- Systemic symptoms: Fever, night sweats, fatigue, and unexplained weight loss
- Abdominal pain or swelling if organs are involved
Treatment Options for Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma
Treatment is personalized based on type and stage of NHL.
- Chemotherapy: To target rapidly dividing lymphoma cells
- Immunotherapy to enhance immune system attack on cancer
- Stem cell transplant: For high-risk or relapsed patients
- Radiotherapy for localized disease
