Non-Hodgkin's lymphomas
Non-Hodgkin's lymphomas are cancers of the lymphatic system. This disorder presents with swollen glands in different parts of the body. There may be symptom like weight loss, night sweats and irregular fever. Thousands of people in India are diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma each year.  Diagnosis is made by excision biopsy of the lymph glands.The treatment of Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma is with chemo and radiotherapy but the best person to advise you on this is a Haemato-Oncologist. With modern treatment, complete cure of many types of Non-Hodgkin’ Lymphoma is possible. Non-Hodgkin's lymphomas can occur in children as well as adults.
Hodgkin's Disease
Like Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease is also a cancer of the Lymph Glands. Cancer research has led to real progress against Hodgkin's disease with increased survival rates and improved quality of life. Most people diagnosed with Hodgkin's disease can now be cured with modern chemotherapy or their disease can be controlled for many years. Continuing research offers hope that, in the future, even more people with this disease will be treated successfully. Each achievement in laboratories and clinics brings researchers closer to the eventual control of Hodgkin's disease. The symptoms of Hodgkin’s disease are similar to that of Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma and diagnosis is usually made by excision-biopsy of the enlarged glands. |
