How to treat malignant lymphoma of the nasal cavity?
Malignant lymphoma of the nasal cavity is a rare type of malignant lymphoma. We already know that 40 cases have been treated. in recent years. The previous naming was very complicated. Currently, it is believed that EB virus infection is closely related to its onset. The main manifestations are unilateral nasal congestion, runny nose, nasal and neck mass odor, malignant lymphoma of the lymphatic tonsils, T-cell/NK cell malignant lymphoma, which has been classified as an independent malignant lymphoma.
1. The above symptoms should be ruled out as malignant lymphoma of the nasal cavity.
2. Conduct a series of examinations, such as bone marrow puncture, liver and kidney function examination, chest X-ray, B-ultrasound, EB virus antibody testing, etc., to correct the staging.
3. The treatment is mainly based on CHOP chemotherapy.
Malignant lymphoma is sensitive to radiotherapy and chemotherapy, which are the main treatment methods. Surgical treatment plays a secondary role, supplemented by traditional Chinese medicine treatment. Active treatment can achieve satisfactory results. Surgical treatment is mainly used for palliative resection of solid organs such as gastrointestinal malignant tumors. The side effects of radiotherapy and chemotherapy are quite significant, which may lead to hair loss, intubation, inflammation, fever, night sweats, weight loss, white blood cells, etc. It is recommended to take ginsenoside Rh2 before radiotherapy and chemotherapy to relieve symptoms.
Patients should be aware that treating the disease and choosing the right medication are also crucial. I hope patients will not blindly take medication and regularly consume foods rich in vitamin C, such as tomatoes, fresh green leafy vegetables, etc.
