Patient's question:
My friend hasn't been looking well for the past few weeks. After that, I accompanied her to the hospital for a blood test. The doctor said she had a tumor. I want to ask the doctor what are the symptoms of Hodgkin lymphoma and how serious it is?Doctor's answer:
Hodgkin lymphoma, although named "oil," is actually a malignant blood disease. Since it is related to our body's lymphocytes, it is essentially related to the immune system of the body. Treatment can be quite challenging. The clinical manifestations that may reappear are progressive anemia, increased susceptibility to colds due to weakened overall resistance, and recurrent infectious conditions in various systems of the body. If left untreated, it can lead to secondary complications and other diseases.
