Treatment for Hodgkin's lymphoma is highly personalized and contingent on several factors, including disease stage, patient age and health status, and tumor characteristics. The treatment modalities encompass:
Chemotherapy: This method employs potent medications to eradicate or inhibit the growth and spread of cancer cells. It is frequently the primary intervention for Hodgkin's lymphoma and may be administered alone or in combination with other treatments.
Radiation Therapy: High-energy beams, such as X-rays or protons, are used to target and eliminate cancer cells. It can be utilized independently for early-stage Hodgkin's lymphoma or alongside chemotherapy for more advanced cases.
Immunotherapy: This innovative approach harnesses the body's immune system to identify and combat cancer cells. Checkpoint inhibitors like pembrolizumab and nivolumab have demonstrated effectiveness in treating recurrent or resistant Hodgkin's lymphoma by targeting specific proteins on cancer cells.
Stem Cell Transplantation: Reserved for patients with recurrent or high-risk Hodgkin's lymphoma, stem cell transplantation involves replacing diseased bone marrow with healthy stem cells, sourced either from the patient (autologous transplant) or a donor (allogeneic transplant), to restore normal blood cell production.
Targeted Therapy: These drugs precisely target molecular pathways critical for cancer growth and survival, offering a more precise and less toxic alternative to conventional chemotherapy. Although not yet standard for Hodgkin's lymphoma, ongoing research is investigating their potential advantages for certain patient groups.
There are many good hospitals in Mumbai where you can undergo successful treatment for Hodgkin's lymphoma. For example, you can undergo a regular full body health checkup at Jaslok Hospital Mumbai to detect conditions like Hodgkin's lymphoma early and undergo appropriate treatment for the same.

NCLEX Review: 8 Differences Between Hodgkin's & Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma
Under a microscope, a doctor can determine if a patient has Hodgkin's lymphoma or non-Hodgkin's lymphoma by looking at the cancer cells. The lymphoma is categorized as Hodgkin's if, upon inspecting the cells, a certain form of aberrant cell known as a Reed-Sternberg cell is seen. The lymphoma is categorized as non-if Hodgkin's if the Reed-Sternberg cell is absent.

So for the past year I have been struggling with medical issues and have just recently been diagnosed with State II Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. I have included the GoFundMe below which my mother created for me and I am not here to beg for money but would appreciate any help I can get. Please reblog and message me, whatever you can to help a fellow simblr, thank you guys!

It is a cancer of the lymphatic system. As the cancer progresses, the body's ability to fight infection is weakened. There is swelling in the lymph nodes in the neck, armpits, or groin. Some symptoms include fatigue, fever, and chills. Chemotherapy, radiation, and, in rare cases, stem-cell transplant are some treatments for Hodgkin's Lymphoma.

Since I'm "on the other side" of cancer for now, I feel like I can make jokes about it without jinxing everything.

A clinical trial that included both adolescents and adults with advanced Hodgkin lymphoma shows that 94% of the patients treated with an experimental immunotherapy plus chemotherapy were cancer-free or had no progression of disease after one year. The results are likely to change standard treatment for this type of cancer, says Jonathan Friedberg, director of the University of Rochester Wilmot Cancer Institute. He is senior investigator of the study and chair of the lymphoma committee at the SWOG Cancer Research Network, which designed the S1836 trial as a part of the National Cancer Institute-funded National Clinical Trials Network. “We hypothesized that the newer treatment would turn out to be most beneficial for patients,” Friedberg says, “but the magnitude of the benefit exceeded our expectations.”

Idk if anyone care but I do and I can kinda explain: so Hank Green posted a tik tok this morning explaing he has Hodgkins Lymphoma. Lymphoma is a cancer of lymphocytes and Lymph nodes. Lymphocytes are a type of white blood cell that are essential in body immune response. I could go into more detail on thar if anyone would like.
Anyways lymphomas are generally classified between hodgkins and non-hodgkins. The main differences is that hodgkins favors the upper body usually and also the lymphocytes look like owls kinda and are classified as reed-sternberg cells
Tumblr media
Non hodgkins will look abnormal in other ways. (Pictured first) vs a normal lymphocyte (Pictured second)

If hank has the Reed sternberg cells there's therapies developed to target the tumor associated antigens. As well as chemo thay he had mentioned in the video. I'm less familiar with the oncology and therapy side as I work in lab where we mainly monitor conditions via peripheral blood smears and tracking levels of tumor associated antigens and other cancer antigens

A SINGLE MAMAS FIGHT TO SAVE HER LIFE FOR HER KIDS
My name is Kristen, I am 32 years old and I felt old until I got my recent diagnosis from the doctors. I have three beautiful children who absolutely depend on me and me alone and I can't fail them by letting this cancer be the last of me. I had a super rough last 2 years we will say and I had brushed off the not feeling well and completely having my body shut down on me to receiving the news that I am possibly going to pass away...

A Family Update!
Get an update on our daughter and the Littles!
Our daughter Katy is doing well these days after the time she spent fighting cancer with chemo and radiation. Her hair has grown back, and she looks radiant! Katy was pregnant with Lyra while she fought cancer. Lyra had to be delivered early in order for Katy to get the chemo that saved her life. I had the privilege of being there when she was born and it was one of the sweetest, most…

Something I don't think people realize is that I had to actually relearn how to walk. I also have a medicine where if I use too much of it, I forget how legs work. I think those two things kind of go hand in hand, where I'm going back to my pre-walking age and forgetting how to walk, and need to remember how to walk, and what pressure is appropriate to put on my legs, eithout falling over.
