Causes And Symptoms Of Lymphoma Cancer
Causes And Symptoms Of Lymphoma Cancer. Lymphoma cancer is one type of cancer that grows due to the presence of genetic changes so as to make the cells or lymphocytes white blood cells that function as a defense of the body changes due to mutate.
White blood cells that undergo mutations then attacked border called the B cell lineage, cell T or NK cells.
In addition the mutated lymphocytes cells can also invade the lymph nodes or the spleen organ. The most severe hazard of lymphoma was able to spread to various tissues or organs of the body part in the other.
To date, there are about 43 different types of lymphoma are classified into two types of lymphoma, which are:
Hodgkin's Lymphoma.
Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma or commonly called the NHL
The classification is generally based on the type of their cells that undergo mutation, namely the B cell, the T cell and natural killer cell tumours.
The who has estimated about 1.5 million people in the world at this time living with the NHL as well as approximately 300 thousand died annually due to diseases of the NHL.
There are about 55% Lymphoma NHL has an aggressive type and grows very quickly, such as: Burkitt Lymphoma.
Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma is a type of cancer that is growing very fast number three after skin cancer and lung cancer.
Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma is generally a lot of attack in adults with the highest number at the age of 45 to 60 years. The older the age of a person then the higher risk of developing Lymphoma, this happens due to a decrease in the resistance of the body in adults.
So that we can get to know more about Lymphoma, then we need to better recognize the lymphatic system of the body.
The lymphatic system or the system SAP of vessels is a natural defense system of the body against various kinds of infections. This system will work through the lymphatic fluid in the lymph vessels.
Lymphatic fluid is a fluid white like milk which contains fat, protein and the lymphocyte or a type of white blood cell. Lymphocyte itself consists of 2 types of B cells as well as cells, namely T.
B cells in lymphocytes will look not like weapons factory on the human body that produce proteins known as antibodies that have fought against an enemy that is bacteria that get into the body.
They will be constantly running in our bodies to examine the circumstances and the health of our body's cells. If it turns out that there's a sick body cells or cells that are getting old then the cells will be destroyed by lymphocytes.
The organs in the human body that play a role in the manufacture and circulation of lymphocytes, is the spleen or thymus glands, spleen, bone marrow and tonsel or tonsils. And lymphomas generally will attack on the organs.
Causes Of Lymphoma Cancer
Up to this time the salt is not known for certain, what causes the appearance of lymphoma. There are several possibilities that are considered to be the cause of lymphoma, which are:
Hereditary factors
Abnormalities in the immune system
The presence of such virus infections or bacteria.
A wide range of exposure to toxins in the environment such as chemical dyes, preservatives or herbicides.
Lymphoma may occur if any of the lymph cells or lymphocytes lost control on their reproduction.
KS or KS in people with AIDS is a dual infection of HIV and herpes virus which led to the emergence of the new Kaposi's Sarcoma known lately.
Recent research confirms that the Epstein-Barr virus or EBV and are contributing actively in the development of lymphoma.
Lymphoma Burkitt in the classification of the NHL, has also proven to be associated with Epstein-Barr virus.
Epstein-Barr virus as long as it has a role in half of all cases of cancer of the throat over and over 30% in all cases of Hodgkin's lymphoma as well as about 10% of cases of Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma.
The hypothesis States that the HIV virus can empower others to cause certain types of cancer seems to be very necessary to researched further.
Research is also urgently needed to clarify the role of the EVB on Lymphoma due to disease of AIDS, although the correlation between KSHV with KS and the role of human papilloma virus in anogenital cancer appears to be more understandable.
Such studies are also badly needed to know about the relationship between a herpes virus that was recently found with lymphoma. With that kind of research will be able to generate new ways to predict and treat cancer lymphoma.
On the one hand, a small scale research has revealed that there is a link between certain pesticides and toxic levels in the body of the individual risk of non-hodgkin's lymphoma. Because the number of respondents in the study just a little, then still required further research to corroborate it.
Symptoms of lymphoma cancer
Lymphoma cancer symptoms in general are:
The presence of swelling of the regional lymph nodes in the neck, armpits or groin.
Weight has decreased drastically.
Fatigue continuously.
Shortness of breath is accompanied by coughing.
Itching in some parts of the body.
Sudden fever and generally without cause.
Cold sweat often out during the evening.
Sometimes there are a few sufferers have only a kind of swelling or lumps in the lymph nodes in the neck area. This disease has no symptoms, making a lot of new Lymphoma sufferers detected when already in advanced stages as well as things like this can complicate the treatment process.
