How to treat lymphoma better

First: radiotherapy: radiotherapy is to irradiate the tumor site with high-energy rays to kill tumor cells. At present, it is mainly local field related radiotherapy. Radiotherapy plays an important role in some subtypes of lymphoma, such as t / NK cell lymphoma. But radiotherapy also has short-term and long-term side effects. The common short-term side effects are skin reaction, leucopenia and so on.

Second: hematopoietic stem cell transplantation: hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is divided into bone marrow stem cell transplantation, peripheral blood stem cell transplantation and umbilical cord blood stem cell transplantation. According to the way of transplantation, it can be divided into autologous stem cell transplantation and allogeneic stem cell transplantation. Autologous stem cell transplantation is easy to relapse. The effect of allogeneic stem cell transplantation is better, but the basic conditions of patients are high, the treatment cost is also high, and the immune response of patients may appear.

Third: radiotherapy: some types of lymphoma can be treated with radiotherapy alone in the early stage. Radiotherapy can also be used for consolidation therapy after chemotherapy and adjuvant therapy during transplantation.

Here I would like to give you some tips: Patients with lymphoma should keep their skin clean and should be scrubbed with warm water every day. In particular, they should protect the skin in the irradiation area and avoid all the irritating factors, such as sun exposure, cold and heat, various disinfectants, soap, adhesive tape and so on. Underwear should be made of soft cotton fabric with strong water absorption, and loose one is better.
