Overview
Lymphoma is a cancer of the lymphatic system and comes in two broad types — Hodgkin lymphoma (highly curable) and Non-Hodgkin lymphoma (a wide family of subtypes with varying behaviour).
Dr. Ravi Jaiswal uses PET-CT staging, molecular profiling and evidence-based regimens like ABVD, R-CHOP or newer immunotherapy combinations to give patients the best chance of cure.
Symptoms to watch for
- Painless swelling of lymph nodes in the neck, armpit or groin
- Unexplained fever (often night-time)
- Drenching night sweats
- Unintentional weight loss of more than 10%
- Persistent itching without a rash
How we treat it
- ABVD regimen for Hodgkin lymphoma
- R-CHOP and modern regimens for diffuse large B-cell lymphoma
- Rituximab-based immunotherapy for B-cell lymphomas
- Autologous stem cell transplant for relapsed disease
- CAR-T referral pathway when appropriate
