What are the symptoms of lymphoma and blood cancer, and what medicines are used to treat them?
Common symptoms of lymphoma and blood cancers include swollen, painless lymph nodes (in the neck, armpits, or groin), persistent fatigue, unexplained weight loss, fever, night sweats, frequent infections, and easy bruising. Treatment is highly personalized and depends on the specific diagnosis. Common medications include chemotherapy drugs (like cyclophosphamide or doxorubicin) to destroy cancer cells, targeted therapies (like rituximab or imatinib) that attack specific proteins on cancer cells, and immunotherapies (like pembrolizumab) to help your body's immune system fight the cancer. If you are experiencing these symptoms, please consult an oncologist for proper evaluation.
