Get information about lymphoma treatment in China
Lymphoma is a cancer of the lymphatic system, it develops in lymphocytes, which are white blood cells that work in the front-line of fighting germs in the body and play an essential role in the immune system.
Lymphoma is among the most common causes of cancer in children and young adults aged 15-24 years old, it may quickly metastasize or spread to different part of the body, as it is present in the lymph system. More often, it spreads to the liver, bone marrow or lungs. It is often treatable.
Types
There are two main types of lymphoma: Hodgkin and non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Within these, there are many subtypes.
Non-Hodgkin lymphoma, which is the most common type, typically develops from B and T lymphocytes (cells) in the lymph nodes or tissues throughout the body. Tumor growth in non-Hodgkin lymphoma may not affect every lymph node, often skipping some and growing on others. It accounts for 95% of lymphoma cases.
Hodgkin lymphoma is a cancer of the immune system, and doctors can identify it by the presence of Reed-Sternberg cells, which are abnormally large B lymphocytes. In people with Hodgkin lymphoma, the cancer usually moves from one lymph node to an adjacent one.

Cancer procedures
Chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy, is also known as CAR T-cell therapy, it is a recently developed live medicine effective in the treatment of lymphoma.
The treatment requires T cells to be collected from patient’s body and genetically engineered in the lab, so that they can find and kill cancer. It has great potential to cure lymphoma, and the therapy has been approved in China for various types of lymphoma.
This is an expensive treatment, however, it is offered in China at an affordable cost. Learn more about CAR T-cell therapy.
