Can childhood lymphoma be cured?

Lymphoma is a very scary disease. If not treated properly, it can be fatal. This should not be underestimated. The cause of the disease is not acquired and it is difficult to prevent. Therefore, it is extremely scary. This disease is generally caused by gene mutation. Children also suffer from lymphoma, which makes parents very anxious. So, can childhood lymphoma be cured?

The exact cause of lymphoma has not yet been fully discovered. It is generally recognized that certain infectious factors may be related to the incidence of certain types of lymphoma. For example, the most common malignant tumor in patients infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is lymphoma, with an incidence rate 60 to 100 times higher than that of the general population.

The onset of Hodgkin's lymphoma, Burkitt's lymphoma and nasal NK-cell lymphoma may be related to Epstein-Barr virus infection; HTLV1 virus is closely related to adult T-cell lymphoma/leukemia; Helicobacter pylori is a possible cause of gastric MALT lymphoma; hepatitis C virus is associated with splenic lymphoma; and Chlamydia psittaci infection is associated with the occurrence of ocular adnexal lymphoma. It is recommended that children with lymphoma go to a regular hospital for examination and treatment.

Malignant lymphoma is a large type of tumor with considerable heterogeneity. Although it is prone to occur in lymph nodes, due to the distribution characteristics of the lymphatic system, lymphoma is a systemic disease that can invade almost any tissue and organ in the body. Therefore, the clinical manifestations of malignant lymphoma have certain common characteristics, but also vary greatly according to different pathological types, sites of invasion and ranges.

The reason why cancer is difficult to treat is that it is common, recurring and metastatic. Many doctors only consider whether the tumor has been completely removed and all the cancer cells have been killed, and they underestimate the holistic treatment of traditional Chinese medicine. They blindly use radiotherapy and chemotherapy, which leads to a decrease in immunity. Not only can they not completely solve the problem of postoperative recurrence and metastasis, but they will also increase the risk of recurrence and metastasis.

To sum up, the above is a detailed description of whether childhood lymphoma can be cured. Do you have a deeper understanding of this after reading it? Children's immunity is not very strong, so adults need to pay more attention to protect them. In addition, if your child has lymphoma, please be sure to seek medical attention in time.
