Lymphoma is a malignant tumor that can be classified into different types due to varying symptoms and causes of disease. So, what are the classifications of T-cell lymphoma? How to treat lymphoma?
The classification of T-cell lymphoma includes fungal granulomas, variant subtypes of fungal granulomas, folliculophilic fungal granulomas, Paget like reticular hyperplasia, granulomatous cutaneous laxity, S é zary syndrome, T-cell leukemia/lymphoma, primary cutaneous CD30, and lymphoproliferative diseases;
There are also primary cutaneous gradient large cell lymphoma, extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma, primary cutaneous peripheral T-cell lymphoma, primary cutaneous invasive epidermal CD8 and T-cell lymphoma, cutaneous gamma/delta T-cell lymphoma, primary cutaneous CD4 and small/medium-sized polymorphic T-cell lymphoma, etc.
How to treat lymphoma? Lymphoma has high heterogeneity, so there are significant differences in treatment. Lymphoma of different pathological types and stages have significant differences in treatment intensity and prognosis. The treatment methods for lymphoma mainly include the following, but specific patients should be analyzed based on their actual situation.
1. Radiotherapy
Some types of lymphoma can be treated with radiation therapy alone in the early stages. Radiotherapy can also be used for consolidation therapy after chemotherapy and as an adjuvant therapy during transplantation.
2. Chemotherapy therapy
Lymphoma chemotherapy often uses combination chemotherapy, which can be combined with targeted therapy drugs and biologics. In recent years, chemotherapy regimens for lymphoma have been greatly improved, and the longevity of many types of lymphoma has been greatly enhanced.
3. Bone marrow transplantation
For patients under 60 years old who can tolerate high-dose chemotherapy and are at medium to high risk, autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation may be considered. Young patients with partial recurrence or bone marrow invasion may also consider allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.
4. Surgical treatment
Limited to biopsy or management of complications; Patients with combined splenic hyperfunction without contraindications and indications for splenectomy can undergo splenectomy to improve blood count and create favorable conditions for future chemotherapy.
The above is the classification and treatment methods of T-cell lymphoma introduced by the editor, hoping to help everyone. Wishing everyone good health.
