Lymphoma is a cancer of a part of the immunesystem called the lymphatic system. There are many types of lymphoma.One type is called Hodgkin's disease.  The rest are called non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
Non-Hodgkin's lymphomas begin when a type of white blood cell,called a T cell or B cell, becomes abnormal. The cell divides again andagain, making more and more abnormal cells. These abnormal cells canspread to almost any other part of the body. Most of the time, doctorscan't determine why a person gets non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma can cause many symptoms, such as
  • Swollen, painless lymph nodes in the neck, armpits or groin
  • Unexplained weight loss
  • Fever
  • Soaking night sweats
  • Coughing, trouble breathing or chest pain
  • Weakness and tiredness that don't go away
  • Pain, swelling or a feeling of fullness in the abdomen
Your doctor will perform an exam and lab tests to determine if you have lymphoma.

Lymphoma CausesThe exact causes of lymphoma are not known. Several factors havebeen linked to an increased risk of developing lymphoma, but it isunclear what role they play in the actual development of lymphoma.These risk factors include the following:
  • Age: Generallythe risk of NHL increases with advancing age. HL in the elderly isassociated with a poorer prognosis than that observed in youngerpatients.
  • Infections
    • Infection with HIV
    • Infection with human T-lymphocytic virus type 1 (HTLV-1)
    • Infection with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), one of the etiologic factors in mononucleosis
    • Infection with Helicobacter pylori, a bacterium that lives in the digestive tract
    • Infection with hepatitis B or hepatitis C virus
  • Medical conditions that compromise the immune system
    • HIV
    • Autoimmune disease
    • Diseases requiring immune suppressive therapy, often used following organ transplant
    • Inherited immunodeficiency diseases (severe combined immunodeficiency, ataxia telangiectasia, among a host of others)
  • Exposure to toxic chemicals
    • Farmwork or an occupation with exposure to certain toxic chemicals such aspesticides, herbicides, or benzene and/or other solvents
    • Black hair dye, which for more than 20 years has been linked to higher rates of NHL
  • Genetics: Family history of lymphoma
Thepresence of these risk factors does not mean a person will actuallydevelop lymphoma. In fact, most people with one or several of theserisk factors do not develop lymphoma.

Lymphoma Symptoms
Often, the first sign of lymphoma is a painless swelling in the neck, under an arm, or in the groin.
  • Lymph nodes or tissues elsewhere in the body may also swell. The spleen, for example, often becomes enlarged in lymphoma.
  • Theenlarged lymph node sometimes causes other symptoms by pressing againsta vein or lymphatic vessel (swelling of an arm or leg), a nerve (pain,numbness, or tingling), or the stomach (early feeling of fullness).
  • Enlargement of the spleen may cause abdominal pain or discomfort.
  • Many people have no other symptoms.
Symptoms of lymphoma may include the following:
  • Fevers
  • Chills
  • Unexplained weight loss
  • Night sweats
  • Lack of energy
  • Itching
Thesesymptoms are nonspecific. This means that they could be caused by anynumber of conditions unrelated to cancer. For instance, they could besigns of the fluor other viral infection, but in those cases, they would not last verylong. In lymphoma, the symptoms persist over time and cannot beexplained by an infection or another disease.

Lymphoma Treatment
General health care providers rarely undertake the sole care of acancer patient. The vast majority of cancer patients receive ongoingcare from oncologists but may in fact be referred to more than oneoncologist should there be any question about the disease. Patients arealways encouraged to gain second opinions if the situation so warrantsthis approach.
  • Although medical treatments are fairly standardized, not all physicians behave similarly.
  • One may choose to speak with more than one oncologist to find the one with whom he or she feels most comfortable.
  • Inaddition to one's primary care physician, family members or friends mayoffer information. Also, many communities, medical societies, andcancer centers offer telephone or Internet referral services.
Once one settles in with an oncologist, there is ample time to ask questions and discuss treatment regimens.
  • The doctorwill present each type of treatment, discuss the pros and cons, andmake recommendations based on published treatment guidelines and his orher own experience.
  • Treatment for lymphoma depends onthe type and stage. Factors such as age, overall health, andwhether one has already been treated for lymphoma before are includedin the treatment decision-making process.
  • The decisionof which treatment to pursue is made with the doctor (with input fromother members of the care team) and family members, but the decision isultimately the patient's.
  • Be certain to understand exactly what will be done and why, and what can be expected from these choices.
As in many cancers, lymphoma is most likely to be cured if it is diagnosed early and treated promptly. Inaddition to the oncologist, the medical team may include a specialistin radiation therapy (radiation oncologist), 1 or more nurses, adietitian, a social worker, and other professionals as needed. Thegoal of medical therapy in lymphoma is complete remission. This meansthat all signs of the disease have disappeared after treatment.Remission is not the same as cure. In remission, one may still havelymphoma cells in the body, but they are undetectable and cause nosymptoms.
  • When in remission, the lymphoma may come back. This is called recurrence.
  • Theduration of remission depends on the type, stage, and grade of thelymphoma. A remission may last a few months, a few years, or maycontinue throughout one's life. The latter is in all likelihood a cure.
  • Remission that lasts a long time is called durable remission, and this is the goal of therapy.
  • Theduration of remission is a good indicator of the aggressiveness of thelymphoma and of the prognosis. A longer remission generally indicates abetter prognosis.
Remission can also be partial. This means that the tumor shrinks after treatment to less than half its size before treatment. The following terms are used to describe the lymphoma's response to treatment:
  • Improvement: The lymphoma shrinks but is still greater than half its original size.
  • Stable disease: The lymphoma stays the same.
  • Progression: The lymphoma worsens during treatment.
  • Refractory disease: The lymphoma is resistant to treatment.
The following terms to refer to therapy:
  • Induction therapy is designed to induce a remission.
  • Ifthis treatment does not induce a complete remission, new or differenttherapy will be initiated. This is usually referred to as salvagetherapy.
  • Once in remission, one may be given yet another treatment to prevent recurrence. This is called maintenance therapy.

seseorang yg ada diabetes, ada some research evidence yg tunjuk bahawa dia mungkin ada sedikit risk utk dapat cancer lebih sikit dari org biasa
jika seseorang itu ada diabetes dan kebetulan dapat pulak cancer, maka treatment cancernya jadi lebih bermasaalah
tidak ada halangan pasal pengambilan gula bagi pesakit cancer, asalkan jgn lebih2 takut2 membawa kepada Impaired Glucose Tolerance ke, Impaired Fasting Glucose ke atau outright Diabetes Mellitus
