Treatments for Hodgkin's Lymphoma

Stages of Primary Effusion Lymphoma

Stages I-II

Primary Effusion Lymphoma

  • Stage 1: One group of lymph nodes can occur anywhere or can occur in an organ
  • Stage 2: Two sites show up on one side of the diaphragm
  • Stage 3: Both sides show up on the diaphragm
  • Stage 4: Many groups pop up everywhere
  • Lymphoma:
  • Stage 1: Same as HIV stages, you have to be tested, if HHV-8 shows up in a scan then you are positive for Lymphoma.
  • 2-4 cycles of chemotherapy followed by radiation treatment to the initial site of lymphoma
  • Optional: Chemotherapy therapy alone for 4 or 6 cycles
  • Patient Doesn't Respond to Treatment: High-doses of chemotherapy followed by stem cell transplant

Stages III-IV

  • More intense regimens of chemotherapy followed by radiation treatment
  • Patient Doesn't Respond to Treatment: High-doses of chemotherapy and possibly radiation treatment
  • Stem cell transplant recommended

Lymphoma:

  • very limited treatment, there is really nothing you can do

Stage II

Symptoms

Primary Effusion Lymphoma

comes from HIV. Usually 4% of patients who have HIV will end up getting P.E.L. This Lymphoma arises in body cavities. Most people get Herpes before a cavity is found. This disease is noncuriable and has a very low treatment rate.

Location

Statistics

Stages of Hodgkin's Lymphoma

Anywhere along the Lymph system, body cavities, in a tumor, and in chest cavities.

Hodgkin's Lymphoma

Lymphoma:

  • HIV symptoms
  • Human herpes
  • Build up of fluid
  • Shortness of breathing

Hodgkin's Lymphoma:

  • Painless swelling of lymph nodes in neck, armpits, and groin
  • Persistent fatigue
  • Fever and chills
  • Night sweats
  • Unexplained weight loss
  • as much as 10% of body weight
  • Loss of appetite
  • Itching
  • Increased sensitivity to effects of alcohol
  • pain in lymph nodes after drinking alcohol

Stage I

Stage III

Most patients with Hodgkin's lymphoma have the classic type of lymphoma. This affliction consists of large, abnormal lymphocytes known as Reed-Sternberg cells. These cells typically occur throughout the body where lymph tissue can be found. Hodgkin's lymphoma is curable with a relatively high survival rate of 85.9% if detected early.

  • Stage I: Lymphoma found in 1 group of lymph nodes or in 1 body organ.
  • Stage II: Lymphoma found in 2 or more groups of lymph nodes OR an organ and 1 or more group of lymph nodes.
  • 2 sites of lymphoma must be on the same side of the diaphragm.
  • Stage III: Lymphoma on BOTH sides of the diaphragm.
  • Stage IV: Lymphoma found in multiple groups of lymph nodes and has spread to organs such as the liver or lungs.

Hodgkin's Lymphoma:

  • 85.9% survive past 5 years of diagnosis
  • 2.7 per 100,000 new cases annually
  • 3.0 males per 100,000 & 2.4 females per 100,000
  • 0.4 per 100,000 deaths annually
  • Median Age at Diagnosis: 38 y.o.
  • Male Caucasians are among those with the highest risk of developing Hodgkin's Lymphoma

With Lymphoma: survival rate is around six months.

Causes

Specific types of cells that are effected

Stage IV

  • Lymphocytes

Lymphoma: B-cells and any cells that have a large nuclei

Hodgkin's Lymphoma:

  • Mutation of B-cell lymphocyte DNA
  • Infection of Epstein-Barr virus
  • Leads to formation of Reed-Sternburg cells

Lymphoma: Anything that exposes the inside body parts during surgical procedures. Also any organ that is placed in your might be affected.
