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

Hodgkin's lymphoma occurs at any age, but is more common in young people (15 to 30 years old) and older, with more males than females. In terms of disease development, it has a certain regular pattern: For early-stage patients, the tumor usually occurs in lymph glands of the neck, and then gradually spread to the adjacent, infraorbital, thoracic, abdominal or distant lymph glands; finally spread to the bone marrow and other organs in advanced stage. Early and late-stage Hodgkin's lymphoma patient often responds very well to the treatment, especially in early stage, 80% or more can be treated.

Treatment for Hodgkin's Lymphoma

St. Stamford Modern Cancer Hospital Guangzhou has introduced new technologies to help patients fight with Hodgkin's lymphoma and improve survival rate effectively.

Advanced Treatment for Hodgkin's lymphoma-Minimally Invasive Therapy

Interventional therapy: with a 1-2 millimeter incision, anti-cancer drugs are directly given to the tumor, causing fewer side effects and killing cancer cells more accurately. The drug concentration is 2-8 times higher than systemic chemotherapy.

Natural therapy: No harm, no pain and no hospitalization. Natural therapy can not only reduce the toxic side effects causing by radiation and chemotherapy but also improve the living quality of lymphoma patients and it is applicable to all cancer patients.

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.

Green chemotherapy: Improved from traditional chemotherapy, green chemotherapy, avoiding the disadvantage of systematic chemotherapy, greatly improving curative effect and reducing toxic side effects, is a new generation of chemical weapons that kills tumors.

*Surgery, in addition to the appropriate chemotherapy and radiotherapy, are effective in treating early cancer, but certain patients in late stage of cancer may not be tolerate surgery well as they can be relatively weak. A combination of carefully planned minimally invasive therapy, chemotherapy or radiotherapy can effectively reduce the side effects and discomfort of treatment and may help patient get better efficacy.
