Lymphoma is a type of cancer that starts in the white blood cells called lymphocytes and grow out of control. There are 2 main types of lymphoma. It’s important to get an accurate diagnosis as lymphomas have different cell types with different treatment options. This type of tumor can originate in many different areas of the body.
Bardmoor Cancer Center will take careful steps stage and grade the disease to assess the best way to create and manage your treatment plan. Our goal is to achieve the very best outcome while preserving your quality of life.
Types of Lymphoma include:
It may be possible to avoid some risk factors for lymphoma, but some are out of your control. The best plan is to catch it early. Lifestyle and hereditary factors include:
Many of these symptoms are more likely to be caused by conditions other than lymphoma but seeking care early can help find cancer earlier and improve outcomes.
At Bardmoor Cancer Center, once lymphoma has been diagnosed, our specialists may order diagnostic testing and imaging to help determine the stage and extent of the disease. It is very important to do a comprehensive lymphoma work-up to carefully evaluate the extent of the cancer.
Depending on the type and stage (severity) of the lymphoma, the following treatments may be necessary. At Bardmoor Cancer Center, we use the most advanced therapies available to treat lymphoma. An individualized plan of care may include multiple types of treatments.
Radiation – Any remaining cancer cells left after surgery are destroyed with high-energy radiation beams. For some lymphomas, treating with chemotherapy at the same time can make radiation therapy work better. It is possible to receive radiation therapy before, during or after surgical intervention. Also, when surgery is not possible, radiation can be used to help slow the growth of the tumor. We work closely with Bardmoor Cancer Center Radiation Oncology located on campus.
Chemotherapy – Chemotherapy (chemo) are anti-cancer drugs that may be given intravenously (injected into your vein) or by mouth. The drugs travel through the bloodstream to reach cancer cells in most parts of the body. Chemotherapy can sometimes be given before, during or after surgery. At Bardmoor Cancer Center, our team provide extensive education and supportive care through your therapy. Chemotherapy is the hallmark treatment for lymphoma.
Targeted Treatments – Targeted drugs work differently from chemo drugs. They sometimes work when chemo drugs don’t, and they often have different side effects. They can be used either along with chemotherapy or by themselves if chemotherapy is no longer working. Targeted treatment options are determined by further genetic testing of the tumor cells. This type of testing is usually done on the biopsied tissue of the tumor cells.
Immunotherapy – Immunotherapy is the use of medicines to help a person’s own immune system better recognize and destroy cancer cells. Immunotherapy can be used to treat some people with advanced lymphomas.
