Swelling can also occur in the armpits or groin, but that's not as common. These swollen lymph nodes are usually painless. There might also be weight loss, night sweats, itchy skin, fevers, fatigue, excessive bleeding, infections, and anemia. In order to determine if lymphoma is present, a biopsy of the affected node or organ is needed. Another procedure determines the extent of the disease by using a laparoscope to explore the organs of the abdominal cavity for disease.
Treatment depends on what stage and type of lymphoma is found.
Treatment may include chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or both. Sometimes, bone marrow transplantation is used for lymphoma treatment. All Rights Reserved. 101 Sivley Road. All rights reserved.
