For the Chinese people, although there are benign tumors and malignant tumors, tumors are like nightmares for the Chinese people. Most people think that as long as it is a tumor, the average person will die within a few years. Although it is a benign tumor, how long can malignant lymphomas live? Let's learn about it together.
How long can malignant lymphoma survive
It is difficult to find a clear answer to the question of how long malignant lymphoma can survive, as there are many factors that determine how long it can last. The main factors determining how long to live are still treatment and the patient's physical function.
In addition, patients and their families with advanced malignant lymphoma should learn more about the treatment knowledge of advanced malignant lymphoma and communicate more with the attending physician, which is helpful for prolonging the survival of advanced malignant lymphoma.
The main influencing factors on how long late stage malignant lymphoma can survive are treatment methods and the patient's physical condition. For late stage patients, conservative treatment with traditional Chinese medicine can be adopted. Surgery cannot be performed, and chemotherapy can alleviate symptoms, but the combination of traditional Chinese medicine and treatment is necessary.
As an auxiliary treatment method, traditional Chinese medicine can be taken according to one's own situation, such as taking some life-saving drugs. This is very helpful for treating malignant lymphoma and can also reduce the harm caused to patients during chemotherapy. However, patients also need to pay more attention to their diet and exercise regularly, which also has a certain effect on treatment.
Symptoms of malignant lymphoma:
1. The most typical manifestation of lymphoma is painless and progressive enlargement of lymph nodes in superficial areas, with a smooth surface and a tough texture that feels like a ping-pong ball or as hard as the tip of the nose. Cervical and supraclavicular lymph node enlargement is the most common, followed by axillary and inguinal lymph nodes. Some patients also present with deep lymph node enlargement as the main manifestation, such as mediastinal, abdominal, and pelvic lymph node enlargement. The onset is relatively insidious, and when discovered, lymph node enlargement is often quite obvious.
2. Progressive enlargement of lymph nodes may affect or compress surrounding tissues and organs, and cause corresponding symptoms.
From the above content, we can know that tumors are different for everyone based on their individual physical fitness. Some people have higher physical fitness and a better mentality, so they can endure for a longer time, while others have a poorer mentality and physical fitness, so they will be more difficult to endure. Overall, it depends on the individual.
