The first one is related to bacterial or viral infection. For example, at present, there is sufficient evidence that it is a chronic infection of Helicobacter pylori, which is closely related to the occurrence of gastric mucosa-associated lymphoma.

Second, immune deficiency, such as AIDS patients or patients who take immunosuppressants for a long time, may have a higher probability of suffering from malignant lymphoma than ordinary people.

The third is chemical or physical factors, such as some environmental carcinogens and electric radiation, which can also lead to malignant lymphoma.

Other factors, including long-term use of certain drugs and genetic predisposition, may be the cause of malignant lymphoma.

2 Symptoms of malignant lymphoma What are the symptoms of malignant lymphoma? The first symptom is generally painless lymphadenopathy in superficial parts. The most common sites are painless swollen lymph nodes in superficial parts such as neck, supraclavicular lymph nodes, armpits or groin.

There are also symptoms such as hepatosplenomegaly or fever, fatigue, sweating and weight loss.

If it is NKT lymphoma in the nasal cavity, he will have clinical manifestations such as nasal congestion, runny nose and nosebleeds.

Lymphoma occurring in mediastinum may include dry cough, shortness of breath or superior vena cava compression syndrome.

Lymphoma in the stomach will have some digestive tract symptoms, such as melena, anemia, nausea and vomiting.

Is malignant lymphoma cancer? Malignant lymphoma is a general term for a group of malignant tumors originating from lymphohematopoietic system. Its main clinical manifestation is painless lymphadenopathy, so malignant lymphoma is a kind of cancer. The prognosis of this disease is poor, but it can be cured by a series of treatments such as surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy, and the cure rate of early patients is still relatively high.

Does malignant lymphoma need chemotherapy? Because malignant lymphoma is highly heterogeneous, its treatment methods are also very different. Different pathological types and stages of lymphoma have great differences in treatment intensity and prognosis. The treatment of lymphoma mainly includes:

First, radiotherapy; Second, chemical drug therapy; Third, hematopoietic stem cell transplantation; Fourth; Surgical treatment. Among them, chemotherapy is the most important treatment method, and its chemotherapy mostly adopts combined chemotherapy scheme, which can combine targeted therapy with biological agents. In recent years, the chemotherapy regimen of lymphoma has been greatly improved, and the long-term survival rate of various types of lymphoma has been significantly improved.
