Lymphoma

Lymphoma is a cancer of the lymphoid tissue, which is distributed widely throughout the body and helps fight infection. It accounts for about 10% of childhood cancers, affecting around 20 children each year. 

There are two kinds of lymphoma: Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL), which usually affects adolescent patients, and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL), which affects children of all ages. 

Symptoms of Hodgkin's lymphoma, which seldom affects children under the age of 3, include painless enlargement of lymph glands in the neck, armpits and groins; coughing, difficulty with breathing; and fever, fatigue, itchiness, night sweating and weight loss. The cure rate for this form of lymphoma is over 90%. 

Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, which is both more common and more malignant, presents symptoms such as painless enlargement of lymph glands in the neck, armpits and groin; coughing and breathlessness; abdominal swelling; and fever, skin irritation, weight loss, anaemia or bleeding. Depending on the stage and histological features of the disease, the overall cure rate is about 70% to 90 %. 

We also provide advanced techniques for both leukaemia and lymphoma using CAR-T cells or bispecific antibodies.
