  • Physical examination: The doctor will perform a thorough physical examination to check for any enlarged lymph nodes or other abnormalities.
  • Medical history and symptoms: The doctor will inquire about the patient's medical history and symptoms, such as unexplained weight loss, night sweats, fatigue, or enlarged lymph nodes.
  • Blood tests: These tests may include a complete blood count (CBC), which can help assess the levels of different blood cells and detect any abnor

What technology is used during Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma treatment?

  • Chemotherapy: Various drugs are used to kill or slow down the growth of cancer cells. Chemotherapy can be administered orally or through intravenous infusion.
  • Radiation therapy: High-energy X-rays or other radiation sources are used to target and destroy cancer cells.
  • Immunotherapy: This treatment stimulates the immune system to recognize and attack cancer cells. Monoclonal antibodies or immune checkpoint inhibitors are examples of immunotherapy used in NHL treatment.
  • Stem cell transplant: This procedure replaces damaged or destroyed stem cells in the bone marrow with healthy stem cells. It may involve the use of high-dose chemotherapy or radiation to eradicate cancer cells before the transplant.
  • CAR-T cell therapy: This innovative treatment involves modifying a patient's own immune cells (T cells) in a laboratory to recognize and destroy cancer cells when infused back into the body.
