Lymphoma Treatments By Dr. Praveen M. P.
Lymphoma, a type of blood cancer affecting the lymphatic system, requires personalized and precise treatment based on the type (Hodgkin or Non-Hodgkin) and stage of the disease. The primary goal is to target and eliminate cancer cells while preserving healthy tissues. Dr. Praveen M. P., a leading oncologist, emphasizes a patient-centric approach combining advanced therapies and compassionate care.
Treatment Modalities for Lymphoma
Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy is the cornerstone of lymphoma treatment, using anti-cancer drugs to destroy rapidly dividing cells. Often administered in cycles, it can be combined with other therapies to enhance effectiveness. Commonly used regimens include CHOP and ABVD protocols.
Radiation Therapy
For localized lymphoma, high-energy rays target affected lymph nodes to eradicate cancer cells. Radiation therapy is particularly effective in Hodgkin lymphoma cases or as an adjunct to chemotherapy.
Targeted Therapy
This innovative approach uses drugs designed to attack specific molecules within cancer cells. Monoclonal antibodies, such as Rituximab, are frequently used for Non-Hodgkin lymphoma, offering precision and fewer side effects.
Immunotherapy
Immunotherapy boosts the immune system's ability to fight lymphoma. CAR-T cell therapy is a groundbreaking technique where a patient’s T cells are engineered to identify and destroy cancer cells.
Bone Marrow or Stem Cell Transplant
High-dose chemotherapy may damage the bone marrow. A stem cell transplant replenishes healthy stem cells, enabling the production of new blood cells. This approach is often used for aggressive or relapsed lymphoma.
Supportive Care
Managing side effects and maintaining quality of life is integral to lymphoma treatment. Supportive care includes medications, nutritional guidance, and psychological support.
