Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) is a form of cancer. It takes root in your lymphatic system—a vital component of the body's immune defence. This condition is characterised by a rampant multiplication of abnormal white blood cells known as lymphocytes. While the exact cause remains unknown, susceptibility to NHL may be heightened due to an impaired immune system. Additionally, certain infections, exposure to specific chemicals, advanced age, and family history can also contribute to this heightened risk.
In Kolkata, a significant number of people are seeking medical advice for symptoms indicative of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. At Apollo Hospitals Kolkata, the best doctors for non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and medical oncologists provide the best care possible for individuals battling this disease.
Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) are of several types, which are as follows:
Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma (DLBCL): The most common type, characterised by rapidly growing tumours.
Follicular Lymphoma: Slow-growing lymphoma that often relapses but responds well to treatment.
Mantle Cell Lymphoma: Typically aggressive, affecting the mantle zone of lymph nodes.
Marginal Zone Lymphoma: Develops from B-cells in the marginal zone of lymphoid tissues.
T-cell Lymphomas: Arising from T-cells, these include various subtypes like Peripheral T-cell lymphoma and Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma.
NHL presents with distinct symptoms that may include:
Swollen lymph nodes in the armpits, neck, or groin without pain
Persistent fever
Night sweats
Unexplained weight loss
Constant fatigue
Loss of appetite
Diagnosis of NHL involves a combination of methods by non-Hodgkin's lymphoma doctors, such as:
Biopsy: Removing a sample of lymph node tissue for microscopic examination.
Blood tests: Checking for abnormal levels of certain cells and substances in the blood.
Imaging tests: Using CT, MRI, or PET scans to detect lymph node involvement and spread.
Bone marrow biopsy: Extracting a sample of bone marrow to look for lymphoma cells.
Flow cytometry: Analyzing the physical and chemical characteristics of cells in a fluid sample to identify lymphoma cells.
At Apollo Hospitals Kolkata, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma treatment doctors provide a range of treatment options, which are:
Chemotherapy: Uses of drugs to eliminate cancer cells and is often the primary course of treatment.
Radiation Therapy: Utilised particularly for early-stage NHL, this procedure employs high-energy rays to destroy cancer cells.
Targeted Therapies: A non-Hodgkin's lymphoma specialist specifically targets cancer cells without harming normal cells.
Stem Cell Transplant: For certain types of NHL, a stem cell transplant may be an option when other treatments have not been effective.
At Apollo Hospitals Kolkata, the best non-Hodgkin's lymphoma treatment doctors are available. They are committed to providing comprehensive care for patients navigating this challenging journey.
