CANCER LIMFOMA HODGKIN: SYMPTOMS, DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT
As-salamu Alaykum,
Cancer Limfoma Hodgkin (the LH GUNS) is a dangerous disease that is very rare. But it often happens to young people. It is estimated that one out of five Malaysians suffering from this disease.
60% percent of cancer patients this is the LH GUNS from the men. Until now many cases limfoma still unexplained causes of its occurrence.
What Is Cancer Limfoma Hodgkin?
It is a type of blood cancer that starts from the lymphatic system. This system helps our immune system removes waste and fight infection.
White blood cells in the lymphatic system actually helps the body fight and protect from germs and infection. But for patients the LH GUNS, these cells increase in abnormal. And they are spreading more than lymphatic system until entering the blood vessels.
The actual cause of LH GUNS is still not identified. But it may have linkages with the mutation of the cells of the body and Epstein-Barr virus.
This dangerous disease bileh happens to anyone. However, those aged 15 to 40 and those aged 55 years and above more risky.
The rate of survival rate is increasing due to the current treatment methods. It is just that it still left the side effects.
Symptoms Of Cancer Limfoma Hodgkin
The most common symptoms for cancer the LH GUNS is swollen lymph glands. It will show as if there is a seed under the skin.
The seed usually painless. It is also possible to grow more than one other area such as:

If you have almost all the symptoms above, the likelihood of you having cancer Limfoma this Hodgkin. Or may also not. Immediately consult a doctor to confirm it.
How Cancer Dignosis Limfoma Hodgkin
Doctor or physician will carry out physical examination. And you also need to clarify personal medical history.
The following are the types of inspections may be the doctor will do:
inspection method scans such as X-rays or CT scans
biopsi lymph glands, a bit of tissue from lymph gland for more inspection diambul
examination of blood, to calculate the amount of red and white blood cells also platelet
immunophenotyping for determining cell types limfoma
inspection at the lungs to determine whether it works well or not
echocardiogram, inspection at heart to determine whether it works well or not
bone marrow biopsy, bone marrow samples taken to see the extent of the spread of cancer cells
Once the cancer Hodgkin Limfoma this identified. Method of ' staging ' will be performed to determine the extent of the cancer.
It also helps to determine the treatment options available. There are four levels for cancer Limfoma Hodgkin this:
Level 1: cancer cells were detected on a lymph gland.
Level 2: cancer cells detected at two area lymph glands, on a mechanical diaphragm surface area or nearby.
Level 3: cancer cells detected in the spaces above and below the mechanical diaphragm. Or the near area.
Level 4: cancer cells are outside the lymph glands and has spread to the bone marrow, lung and liver.
Cancer Treatment Limfoma Hodgkin
Level of cancer will determine the type of treatment that should be taken by the patient. Common treatments and chemotherapy and radiation is major.
Chemotherapy will use some type of medication to eliminate cancer cells. While radiation therapy use high energy radiation to kill cancer cells.
Chemotherapy drugs are included in the blood vessels or taken oral by the patient. If a new cancer occurring radiation therapy alone has enough to treat patients. But if they are not at the level of the early, chemotherapy will also be carried out.
It has been known that the radiotherapy (radiation therapy) and chemotherapy have a negative impact on short and long term.
Among the effects that will be caused to patients after radiotherapy and chemotherapy are:
the body becomes weak
not berselera to eat
immunity of the body becomes weak
and easy to hit sore such as cough, fever and flu
While for long-term effects. Treatment using radisi can increase the risk of:
breast cancer
lung cancer
heart disease and cholesterol to be high
The following is long-term effects after chemotherapy:
less energetic as before, and easily tired
cancer the second time attack
dental problems
Diabetes
changes in sex hormones resulting in lost interest to be with a spouse, anemia, muscle, brain, depression, reduced weight and improved hair be dropped
Hipotiriod due to low thyroid hormone rate, especially for cancer patients Limfoma Hodgkin
Difficult to control ' bowel movement '
The less fertile
Lymphedema occurs if the lymph glands are removed and the accumulation of fluid in the tissues occurs. It will cause swelling occur in some areas.
Nerve problems
Damage to organs
Osteoporosis
and aging earlier occurred
Chemotherapy not only kills cancer cells. But it also influences and affects healthy cells. And this is what causes the long-term effects of chemo as above happens.
