Patients with lymphoma commonly exhibit symptoms such as fever, clinically referred to as B symptoms. Some patients may also experience additional B symptoms such as fatigue, sweating, or weight loss. Patients displaying these B symptoms generally have a poorer prognosis. Furthermore, lymphoma patients typically experience fever more frequently in the afternoon or evening, usually presenting with a low-grade fever. If the condition of a lymphoma patient is not controlled, their fever symptoms will recur repeatedly. Only when the condition is under control will there be an alleviation of fever symptoms. Anti-inflammatory drugs are not effective in these cases.

Are all lymphomas malignant?

Tumors can be benign or malignant; malignant tumors are commonly referred to as cancer. Lymphoma, because it originates from lymph nodes or tissues or organs outside the lymph nodes, is a type of malignant tumor, and thus it is called lymphoma. All lymphomas are malignant; there are no benign lymphomas. However, based on specific pathological types, lymphomas are classified into two main categories: non-Hodgkin lymphoma and Hodgkin lymphoma, but all lymphomas are malignant.

Can lymphoma be cured?

Whether lymphoma can be cured depends on the specific pathological type of lymphoma, as there are dozens of subtypes, each with different prognoses and sensitivities to treatment. Additionally, the stage of lymphoma in patients also affects the prognosis. For example, patients with early-stage lymphoma can achieve a cure through radiotherapy and chemotherapy. However, for patients with advanced-stage lymphoma, treatment primarily involves chemotherapy, especially in cases of highly aggressive lymphoma, where it is difficult to achieve a complete cure. The goal of treatment in such cases is to alleviate pain and extend the patient's life.

Early symptoms of lymphoma

The early symptoms of lymphoma involve the painless enlargement of both superficial and deep lymph nodes, most commonly located in areas such as the neck, armpits, and groin. Of course, lymphoma also presents with systemic symptoms, such as fever, night sweats, weight loss, and skin itching. Since lymphoma commonly occurs in the neck, armpits, and groin, if it develops in other areas, such as the lungs or elsewhere, it may cause respiratory symptoms, including coughing, expectoration, and shortness of breath.

Lymphoma rash symptoms

The rash associated with lymphoma is not much different from common rashes; they are both characterized by red papules. However, lymphoma is not an isolated disease. For instance, in patients, one can feel lumps on the neck or upper clavicle area, but they may also exhibit systemic symptoms such as fever, night sweats, weight loss, fatigue, lack of appetite, anemia, chest pain, and other symptoms because it is a systemic disease. Thus, it may cause these systemic symptoms. The rash can also cause itching of the skin.
