Lymphomas
Lymphomas are cancers of the lymphatic system, which plays a vital role in the body’s immune defense. They are broadly classified into Hodgkin lymphoma and non-Hodgkin lymphoma, with several subtypes that vary in behavior and treatment approach. With advances in precision diagnostics, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy, many lymphomas are highly treatable. Dr. (Prof.) Jyoti Bajpai offers personalized, evidence-based care for lymphomas across all age groups and disease stages.
Treatment Options
Treatment for lymphomas is determined by the lymphoma subtype, stage, molecular features, and overall patient health. Treatment options may include:
- Chemotherapy – Systemic treatment to destroy lymphoma cells
- Immunotherapy – Immune-based therapies targeting cancer-specific markers
- Targeted Therapy – Precision medicines based on lymphoma biology
- Combined Modality Treatment – Integration with radiation therapy when indicated
- Supportive & Palliative Care – Management of symptoms and treatment-related side effects
Causes & Risk Factors
The exact cause of lymphoma is often unknown, but several factors may increase risk:
- Weakened immune system or immunosuppression
- Certain viral or bacterial infections
- Family history of lymphoma
- Autoimmune diseases
- Increasing age (varies by subtype)
- Exposure to certain chemicals or radiation
Prevention & Early Detection
While lymphoma cannot always be prevented, early diagnosis significantly improves outcomes:
- Awareness of persistent lymph node swelling
- Early evaluation of unexplained fever, weight loss, or night sweats
- Timely medical consultation for prolonged fatigue or infections
- Monitoring patients with immune-related conditions
- Regular follow-up for high-risk individuals
- Prompt diagnostic work-up when symptoms persist
