Hodgkin's Disease

Hodgkin's Disease

Hodgkin's disease is a malignant lesion of lymphatic tissue, a type of lymphoma. Typically characterized by painful enlargement of one or more cervical, axillary, inguinal, thoracic, or abdominal lymph nodes. The disease can also affect the spleen, liver, bone marrow and bones.

In addition to swollen lymph nodes, a person may experience severe weight loss, fever, heavy night sweats, and itching (these symptoms are called B symptoms).

Hodgkin's disease differs from other types of lymphomas by the presence of large binucleate cells (Sternberg-Reed cells) in the affected lymph nodes.

Treatment depends on the extent of the disease and includes surgery, radiation therapy, drug therapy, or a combination of these. For drug therapy, nitrogen analogues of mustard gas, vincristine, procarbazine, prednisone, chlorambucil and vinblastine can be used.

Many patients can be completely cured. When treating the disease at an early stage, over 85% of patients are cured.

Hodgin's disease is a malignant neoplasm of the lymphatic system. This is a rare but serious disease that can affect anyone, regardless of age or gender. It usually affects lymph nodes located in the neck, armpit or groin area. In rare cases, the disease can affect the liver, spleen, bone marrow, and sometimes bones, brain and other organs.

Hodgin's disease occurs due to impaired immune function. The body's immune system is unable to control immunity and suppress the growth of certain cells. In this case, abnormal cells accumulate, which affect neighboring tissues and cause the formation of malignant tumors.

In the body, Hojin disease begins with enlarged and painful lymph nodes. Later the knots become huge and heavy. They can increase significantly in size and cause pain in that area of ​​the body. Other symptoms may include fever, night sweats,
