Lymphoma Cancer

The average cost of treating lymphoma cancer in India is approximately $18,000 for Hodgkin’s Lymphoma and $22,000 for Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. Costs may vary based on factors like doctor's experience, severity, and patient's condition.

Lymphoma cancer originates in the lymphatic system, comprising lymph nodes and vessels, crucial for immune function. It occurs when lymphatic cells undergo abnormal division. There are two main types: Hodgkin’s Lymphoma and Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma.

Early Signs: Abdominal pain, loss of appetite, cold symptoms, fatigue, enlarged spleen, unexpected weight loss, skin rashes, breathing difficulties, night sweats.

Later Symptoms: Spread to surrounding areas, lymph nodes, and other body parts.

• Age (more common in older individuals).
• Gender (more prevalent in men).
• Weak immunity.
• Infections like HIV, hepatitis C.
• Genetic factors.
• Exposure to chemicals and radiation.

• Stage 1: Initial development, easily treatable.
• Stage 2: Spread to lymph nodes beyond cervical region.
• Stage 3: Further spread to surrounding areas.
• Stage 4: Extensive spread throughout the lymphatic system, difficult to treat.
• Diagnosis of Lymphoma Cancer:

Blood tests to check cell counts.

Lymph node biopsy.

Bone marrow aspiration and biopsy.

• Surgery: Tumor removal.
• Active Surveillance: Monitoring before treatment.
• Chemotherapy: Medications to destroy cancer cells.
• Radiation Therapy: High-energy radiation beams to target cancer cells.
• Stem Cell Transplantation: Replacement of abnormal cells with healthy ones.
• Immunotherapy: Boosts immune system to combat cancer cells.
