Lymphoma Cancer, Types, Risk Factors, to Symptoms

-

Lymphoma cancer is one of the rare blood cancers.  Although rare, this cancer can affect anyone. Lymphoma is a type of cancer that develops in white blood cells called lymphocytes. Lymphocytes are part of the body’s immune system which plays a major role in protecting the body from infection or disease.
This lymphoma cancer attacks the lymph nodes (KGB), while the KGB exists throughout our body in the bloodstream.  For this reason, sometimes it is also called blood cancer.
Lymphoma cancer occurs when B or T lymphocytes – the white blood cells that maintain endurance – become abnormal by dividing faster than ordinary cells or living longer than usual.
Lymph nodes are lymphocytes the size of peanuts and other immune system cells. The lymph nodes are all over the body, including in the chest, abdomen, or pelvis as well as in the neck and around the head. These lymph nodes are connected to each other by the lymphatic vessel system.
In general, lymphoma disorders are divided into two groups, namely Hodgkin’s lymphoma (LH) and non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma.
Certainly there is a difference between Hodgkin’s lymphoma and non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, especially the characteristics and types of treatment.

Hodgkin’s Lymphoma

Hodgkin’s Lymphoma Cancer (LH) is a disease that attacks the lymph nodes, commonly with swelling in the neck and head.
The prevalence of LH cases is around 20 percent of all lymphoma cases, with a presentation of around 60 percent (of the Indonesian population) new cases per year and 40 percent of people with lymphoma die per year.

Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma

In non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma cancer, patients may experience swelling (lumps) of lymph nodes in the neck, armpits, groin or other areas.
The prevalence of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma cases constitutes the majority of all lymphoma cases. The incidence of cases tends to increase from year to year and also according to age.
In fact, data from Globocan in 2012 was estimated as the most cancer in Indonesia in number six in the male category and number seven in the female category.
Regarding the risk factors between the two types of lymphoma are almost the same, namely as follows:
  • Shortness or fatigue
  • Itching of the skin
  • Age, the older the higher the risk of lymphoma
  • Gender, men are taller than women
  • Race / ethnicity, Caucasian people are more vulnerable
  • Socioeconomic, developed countries have higher risk of lymphoma
  • Exposure, solar radiation and chemicals.
  • Immune, immunocompromised or autoimmune disorders (weakened immune system)
  • Infections, such as EVB, Herpes, HIV, H pylori, C jejuni become more vulnerable.
  • Obesity and diet, obesity and high-fat diets are also susceptible to lymphoma.
  • Genetic, has a family member who has a history of lymphoma
Some of the following things you might be able to anticipate in order to be able to diagnose earlier from the occurrence of lymphomas that are getting worse in your body.
  • Enlargement or swelling of lymph nodes that can occur anywhere (groin, neck, head, armpits, etc.)
  • Stomach enlarges or feels full
  • Fever without apparent cause (can come and go for several weeks without infection)
  • Weight loss of 10 percent of body weight for more than six months
  • Shortness or fatigue
  • Itching of the skin
  • Sweating at night or in cold weather
  • Stomach ache, back or bone pain
  • Feeling tired (fatigue), lack of energy
  • Shivering
  • Loss of appetite
  • Neuropathy, a disorder of the nerves in the body
  • There is blood in the stool or vomit
  • Blockage of urine flow

That’s far easier said than done in the winter, though, when cold and bitter weather whisks in and zaps the hydration from our faces. For that reason, there’s probably a  lip balm  in your pocket or bag at this very moment. You might consider it your lord and savior when a pesky flake or crack rears its ugly head, but I have some bad news: Certain lip balm ingredients can actually contribute to chapping. Ever re-apply a lip balm all week long, then realize later that your lips are still chapped and it makes absolutely no sense? Or experienced a minor lip rash after switching balm brands? According to experts, it might be an irritant or something you’re allergic to keeping you in chapped-lip purgatory. We asked a crop of dermatologists to explain what those ingredients are, if and how you should avoid them, and why they’re even there in the first place. The good news
