As we all know, lymphoma is a serious and alarming disease, as it has the potential to develop into a malignant tumor and pose a serious threat to our health. Therefore, people should always pay attention to their physical condition and regularly undergo necessary physical examinations. So, what are the symptoms of late stage lymphoma? Let's take a look together.
Simply put, the late stage symptoms of lymphoma are the invasion of multiple extranodal cancer cells, regardless of whether there is lymph node pathology present; Or single organ accompanied by distant lymph node invasion.
Lymphoma presents with systemic symptoms such as fever, rash, night sweats, and emaciation. Some patients may experience irregular fever for a long time for unknown reasons, and only discover superficial lymph node enlargement after several years. Diagnosis is only made after examination. There are also a few patients with relatively hidden lesions, but they often have periodic low-grade fever. The presence of various symptoms such as persistent fever, excessive sweating, and weight loss may indicate the progression of the disease. In addition, the nervous system, skin, bone marrow, etc. are often involved.
Many patients do not understand why they suddenly develop lymphoma while they are usually doing well. In fact, in the case of genetic or acquired immune disorders in the body, lymphocytes are stimulated by exogenous or endogenous antigens for a long time, leading to a proliferative response. Due to the absence or dysfunction of T suppressor cells, lymphocytes lose normal feedback control of their proliferative response to antigen stimulation, resulting in unlimited proliferation and ultimately leading to the occurrence of lymphoma.
Lymphoma generally requires chemotherapy treatment and a balanced diet. Attention should be paid to the dietary regulation after lymphoma chemotherapy, which is based on the widespread application of chemotherapy in lymphoma treatment. However, chemotherapy not only kills cancer cells but also normal cells, so it is necessary to pay attention to the patient's dietary regulation at this time. At present, the traditional Chinese medicine ginsenoside Rh2 is considered to have certain therapeutic effects in inhibiting tumor growth and reducing the toxic side effects of radiotherapy and chemotherapy, and is therefore clinically adopted.
Kind reminder:
Lymphoma patients often have a light diet, and the symptoms to some extent affect their taste buds. If a light diet has affected their appetite and it is difficult to ensure sufficient nutrient intake, they can add some seasonings to their diet to make the food taste delicious and increase appetite. Please note that it is easy to choke after eating, and it is recommended to consume low residue liquid food.
