Lymphoma Cancer
Lymphoma Cancer Treatment In India
Beyond Conventional Treatment. Grounded in Evidence.
Lymphoma is one of the most common blood cancers in India and one of the most misunderstood. Its earliest symptoms look nothing like cancer. A swollen lymph node, persistent fatigue, and a fever that keeps returning most people attribute these to a viral infection and move on. Weeks later, they are still there.
Even small delays can significantly impact the course of the condition.
Lymphoma, when caught and staged correctly, is among the most treatable cancers in oncology. But treatment decisions made without a full understanding of the subtype, stage, and molecular profile can cost patients options they did not know they had.
Dr Tarang Krishna combines clinical oncology with Cancer Healer Therapy, an integrative approach that works alongside your treatment to keep you stronger, more resilient, and better equipped to recover.
What Is Lymphoma Cancer?
Lymphoma cancer is a malignancy of the lymphatic system, the network of nodes, vessels, and organs that forms a core part of your immune defence. It begins when lymphocytes, a type of white blood cell, multiply uncontrollably. These abnormal cells accumulate in the lymph nodes, spleen, thymus, or bone marrow, impairing the body's ability to fight infection. Unlike many cancers, lymphoma can arise in virtually any part of the body where lymphatic tissue is present, making accurate diagnosis and staging essential before any treatment begins.
What Are the Types of Lymphoma Cancer?
The types of lymphoma cancer are broadly divided into two categories, each with distinct subtypes, behaviours, and treatment approaches.
A type of cancer that starts in the lymph nodes, which are part of your immune system. Primarily affects younger adults between 15 and 35 and adults over 55. Highly responsive to treatment, especially when detected early.
A broader group of lymph cancers that can start in different parts of the lymphatic system. It varies widely in how it behaves, from slow-growing to more aggressive forms.
Originates in B lymphocytes, which help your body produce antibodies to fight infections. It accounts for the majority of NHL cases.
Less common, it originates in T lymphocytes. Tends to be more aggressive and requires different treatment protocols.
A rare type of lymphoma confined to the brain or spinal cord. Requires specialised treatment distinct from systemic lymphoma.
What Are the Causes and Risk Factors of Lymphoma Cancer?
Lifestyle & Environmental
Prolonged exposure to pesticides, herbicides, and industrial chemicals
Previous chemotherapy or radiation therapy for another cancer
Age
Obesity
Biological & Genetic
Weakened immune system due to HIV/AIDS, organ transplant, or long-term immunosuppressant use
Autoimmune conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, or Sjögren's syndrome
Prior Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) or Helicobacter pylori infection
Family history of lymphoma
Certain inherited immune deficiency disorders
What Are the Symptoms of Lymphoma Cancer?
Lymphoma cancer symptoms are often non-specific, which is why diagnosis is frequently delayed. The most common lymphoma cancer symptoms include the following:
Painless swelling of lymph nodes in the neck, armpits, or groin
Persistent fatigue that does not improve with rest
Unexplained weight loss of more than 10% body weight over six months
Drenching night sweats
Recurring fever without infection
Persistent itching across the body without a skin cause
Breathlessness or chest tightness if mediastinal nodes are involved
Abdominal discomfort, fullness, or swelling if the spleen is affected
How Is Lymphoma Cancer Diagnosed?
Lymph node biopsy
Immunohistochemistry (IHC)
Flow Cytometry
Bone Marrow Biopsy
PET-CT Scan
CT Scan of chest, abdomen, and pelvis
Molecular and Genetic Testing
Blood Tests
What Are the Treatment Options for Lymphoma Cancer?
Lymphoma cancer treatment is determined by subtype, stage, patient age, and molecular profile. It is one of the few cancers where a precise diagnosis directly dictates which protocol will work.
Chemotherapy
Immunotherapy
Radiation Therapy
Targeted Therapy
CAR-T Cell Therapy
Stem Cell Transplant
