Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma

Lymphoma is one of the top ten common cancers in the Philippines, among Filipino adults, incidence rate rises steeply starting at age 50 among males and at age 55 among females. Lymphoma, also called lymphatic cancer, has two main categories:Hodgkin's lymphomas (HL) and Non-Hodgkin's lymphomas (NHL). About 90% of lymphomas are Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

As the most common type of lymphoma. Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma is more complex and variable than Hodgkin's lymphoma. In terms of pathological features, there are currently more than 20 kinds of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, which are mainly divided into three categories: B-cell lymphoma, T-cell lymphoma and NK/T-cell lymphoma; especially diffuse large B-cells. Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma and follicular lymphoma are the most common, while NK/T-cell lymphoma is rare.

Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma usually occurs in lymph glands, and also in tissues other than the lymphatic system, such as the tonsils, gastrointestinal tract, nasal cavity, nasopharynx, skin, bone marrow, and central nervous system. Therefore, there are "nodal" and "extra-nodal" lymphomas. Accurate pathological classification is very important for assessing the development of the disease and formulating treatment plans.

Particle implantation: Implanted particles will keep emitting y-ray within the tumor, targeting to the cancer cells accurately; the radiation of seeds to tumor last for 180 days, high accuracy, millimeter minimally invasive; few toxic side effects and complications.

Combination of TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) and western medicine: Combination of traditional Chinese medicine and minimally invasive techniques can not only kill the cancer cells effectively, but also reduce toxic side effects, lower the rate of cancer recurrence, and greatly improve survival rate.
