What is B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma?
B cell Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma is a cancer that occurs in the lymphatic system, specifically in B cells that fight the disease of the production of antibodies. The cause of this type of cancer is unknown, but identified risk factors include immune deficiencies, chronic infection and autoimmune diseases. Symptoms of B-cell lymphoma include unexplained weight loss, fatigue, high fever and swollen lymph nodes. The treatment includes transplantation of chemotherapy, radiation and stem cells. If this form of cancer is caught in early stages, it has a relatively high level of survival.
Lymphomas are cancer of the lymphatic system and there are many different types. The lymphoma of non-hodgkins occurs when cancer comes from lymphocytes that are a type of white blood cells that work in the body's immune system in the fight against infection from different pathogens. In the lymphoma of B lymphoma B Cell, cancer occurs in B cells responsible for creating antibodies to viruses, bacteria and entertainment and memoryOut cells that contain instructions for future antibodies. Scientists have identified several risk factors that increase the likelihood that an individual could develop this disease. One risk factor is the presence of immune deficiencies resulting from different conditions, such as organ transplants, medicines, diseases such as AIDS and genetics. Other risk factors include autoimmune diseases such as lupus, and chronic infections that cause excessive B cell production, thus increasing the chances of occurring cancer mutation.
Symptoms of Nongkin B-cell lymphoma are nonescriptive problems that are easily confused with symptoms of many other diseases. They include inexplicable weight loss, night sweating, fatigue, high fever, chest pain, cough, difficulty breathing and abdominal pain or bloating. Typically, swollen lymph nodes are present, they usually occur in pSummer, neck or groin. Because these symptoms are associated with numerous diseases, the diagnosis of non-podgkin lymphoma B cells requires specialized testing.
After diagnosis, there are several treatment options for non-hodgkin's lymphom B cells, which the doctor may recommend after careful analysis of the individual case. The aggressiveness of treatment usually depends on how widespread and heavy cancer. Treatment includes chemotherapy, ie medicines designed to eliminate cancer cells and prevent the formation of new and high dose radiation to kill cancer growth and reduce tumors. Another treatment is stem cell therapy, ie infusion of healthy stem cells after the existing ones have been destroyed by chemotherapy and radiation, so the body can rebuild a functional immune system. When the lymphom B cells are diagnosed in early phases, it has a relatively high level of survival, although the patient must carefully monitor his health and be vigilant on signs of recurrence.
