In recent years, lymphoma has been medically known as malignant lymphoma, a disease that mainly originates in the lymphohematopoietic system and is a malignant tumor.
In general, young people are more likely to suffer from the disease than men, the ratio of men to women is 2:1, according to the World Health Organization, there are about 350,000 new lymphoma patients worldwide every year, and the number of deaths exceeds 200,000.
The incidence of lymphoma in China is 0.02%, with 25,000 new cases and 20,000 deaths per year.
Therefore, lymphoma should be treated as soon as possible after the emergence of the disease, reasonable control of the disease, to prevent the spread of cancer cells, but many people have some misunderstandings about the treatment of lymphoma, otherwise it is likely to aggravate the disease.
Well, lymphoma has those 5 common misunderstandings, let's take a look at it.
First, do not mistakenly think that there is swelling under the neck that is not serious
When cancer cells occur in a certain part of the body, it can lead to swollen lymph nodes, such as inflammation of the mouth and inflammation of the tonsils.
Therefore, patients with cervical lymphadenopathy, after taking anti-inflammatory drugs, the symptoms have not improved, it is necessary to suspect that lymphoma is caused.
Therefore, do not ignore the early symptoms, and develop as soon as possible to determine the symptomatic treatment plan and eliminate the harm of the disease.
Second, biopsy can lead to tumor spread
Some patients are very afraid of biopsies, believing that they can cause nodules, but this test is important for understanding lymphoma.
Therefore, biopsy is the most reliable diagnostic method, biopsy wound is small, only a small amount of blood or tissue fluid exudation, will not cause tumor spread.
Only by diagnosing the disease as soon as possible through this examination can the degree of benign and malignant disease be understood to ensure that the disease can be completely cured.
Third, it is mistaken to think that surgical resection can cure the disease
In most cases, surgical resection is the best way to improve lymphoma, especially if malignant lesions are highly suspected.
After surgery, it is necessary to pay attention to whether there is a small amount of blood or tissue fluid oozing, which is important for judging whether the cancer cells will spread.
Therefore, patients cannot think that surgery can completely cure the disease, and postoperative examination and nursing care are also of great significance for disease recovery.
Fourth, the mistaken belief that early treatment is not important
Microbial infections can cause lymphatic disease, especially when inflammation occurs in a certain part of the body, which can lead to cervical lymphadenopathy.
If you can't prescribe the right medicine, it is likely to lead to lymphoma, so early treatment is of great significance, otherwise the disease will develop to a later stage, taking any drug treatment is not ideal, it will only make the tumor become larger and larger, and it may threaten life safety.
Fifth, mistakenly believe that folk remedies can cure lymphoma
Many people misunderstand the effect of some folk prescriptions on improving lymphoma, in fact, in the treatment process of lymphoma, many folk prescriptions have no scientific basis, if you blindly listen to folk prescriptions, there is unreasonable medication behavior, which may lead to aggravation of the disease.
Therefore, after the emergence of lymphoma, it should be highly valued and improved through regular treatment, and do not accept treatment casually.
According to the above introduction, people do have a big misunderstanding of lymphoma, so once the neck, collarbone and armpits appear swollen, you need to suspect this disease.
At this time, it is recommended that patients go to regular hospitals for treatment, and develop good living habits in life, try not to stay up late, eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, achieve nutritional balance, do not have too much psychological burden, do not smoke, do not drink. Only in this way can cancer cells be prevented from spreading and threatening life safety.
