Understanding Lymphoma
Lymphoma is a type of cancer that originates in the lymphatic system, which is part of the body’s immune system. There are two main types: Hodgkin lymphoma and non-Hodgkin lymphoma. The condition affects lymphocytes, a type of white blood cell, causing abnormal growth and function. In our partner clinics in Beijing and Shanghai, we use a multidisciplinary approach involving hematologists, oncologists, and radiation therapists to provide comprehensive cancer care.
Advanced Diagnostics in China
Accurate diagnosis is the first step toward effective treatment. Our hospitals offer:
- Lymph Node Biopsy: Definitive diagnosis.
- Blood Tests: Assessing blood cell counts.
- Imaging Studies: PET, CT, or MRI scans.
- Bone Marrow Biopsy: Assessing disease spread.
Treatment Options
Depending on the diagnosis, treatment may involve chemotherapy, radiation therapy, immunotherapy, or an integrative approach combining Western medicine with Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) to support the immune system and manage side effects.
- Chemotherapy: Multi-agent regimens.
- Radiation Therapy: Targeted treatment.
- Immunotherapy: Monoclonal antibodies.
