People say that health is like a 1 in front of 0. Without health, any more 0s behind it are useless. But how many people really think and do this? It was not until the illness struck that I regretted deeply. It is impossible for a person's life to be free from illness, and tumors are one of the most serious and common diseases. So, what are the characteristics of tumors on the neck and what methods are used for treatment?
1. Cervical lymphoma
The cervical lymph is located within the submandibular triangle, collecting lymph from the chin, bottom of the mouth, and tip of the tongue, and flowing into the submandibular lymph nodes and the internal jugular vein digastric lymph nodes. The lymphatic tissue in the neck comes from the lymphatic reflux of the nose, sinuses, pharynx, larynx, oral cavity, and face. Inflammation or cancer in these areas can invade or metastasize to the lymph nodes in various groups of the neck. Sometimes esophageal, chest, and even gastrointestinal cancers can also metastasize here. Generally, the nature and cause of cervical lymph node enlargement can be identified by its location, size, texture, mobility, and tenderness, and potential primary lesions can be explored. When lymph nodes become enlarged, circular, oval, or cord like nodules can be felt beneath the skin.
2. Causes of cervical lymphoma
The causes of cervical lymph node enlargement include three aspects, namely infection, tumor, and other factors. In terms of tumor factors, primary Hodgkin's disease, non Hodgkin's lymphoma, and white blood cell leukemia, especially lymphocytic leukemia; Secondary cancer (metastatic tumors of the oral cavity, salivary glands, and nasopharynx), malignant melanoma, Ewing's sarcoma, and other mesenchymal tumors.
3. How to treat neck lymphoma
Compared with breast cancer, gastric cancer and other nausea tumors, the pathological diagnosis of lymphoma is extremely complex, and without special experience, the probability of error is relatively high. Meanwhile, lymphoma has dozens of different subtypes, and once misdiagnosed, treatment and prognosis can be greatly affected. Based on the location of the enlarged lymph nodes, the primary lesion that causes lymph node enlargement can generally be roughly understood. But if necessary, special examinations such as X-ray imaging, pathological section microscopy, B-ultrasound, and immunohistochemistry should also be performed. Only by understanding the cause can targeted treatment be given. If it is in the early stage of the disease, it can be cured through scientific and reasonable methods, but if the cause is complex and the condition is severe, more professional examination and treatment are needed. Maintaining a positive and optimistic attitude while undergoing treatment can contribute to the recovery of the body.
