The symptoms of lymphoma are commonly seen in other, less serious illnesses, such as influenza or other viral infection. These symptoms are often overlooked, but in cases of less serious illnesses they would not last very long. With lymphoma, these symptoms persist over time and cannot be explained by an infection or another disease. The most common symptom is a painless swelling in a lymph node. The neck or armpits are common places noticed first, but the swelling can occur in other parts of the body including the groin (that may cause swelling in the legs or ankles) or the abdomen (that can cause cramping and bloating). Some lymphoma patients notice no swelling at all while others may complain of night sweats, weight loss, chills, a lack of energy, or itching. There is usually no pain involved, especially when the lymphoma is in the early stage of development. Most people who have nonspecific complaints such as these will not have lymphoma. However, it is important that any person who has symptoms that persist see a doctor to confirm that no lymphoma or serious illness is present. *Because of the common nature of these symptoms and because lymphoma symptoms do not appear in all cases, diagnosis is often problematic. Making early diagnosis important to treatment and outcome. So, help make sure you and the one's you love aren't caught not knowing their nodes! More advanced lymphoma may present with the following symptoms: Know the Signs and Symptoms of Lymphoma Although the number of people diagnosed with lymphoma each year is on the rise, many still don't know about this life-threatening form of cancer. It's important that individuals around the world know the signs and symptoms of lymphoma because it can save your life. Signs and symptoms can be similar to other, less serious illnesses, making diagnosis sometimes challenging. Lymphoma is often misdiagnosed as a flu or fatigue. However an early diagnosis is important, because if untreated, some types of lymphoma can be fatal within a short period of time. By knowing your nodes, you will better understand your lymphatic system, as well as know the signs and symptoms of lymphoma. If signs and symptoms are detected early, there is a better chance for quicker diagnosis, treatment and overall survival.

Svjetski dan limfomaPrepoznajte simptome raka limfnog tkiva Bezbolna oteklina u području vrata, pazuha ili prepone, noćno znojenje, neobjašnjive groznice, gubitak težine i umor, kašalj i zadihanost te svrab po cijelom tijelu najčešći su znakovi limfoma. Svake godine 15. rujna je posvećen podizanju svijesti o limfomu u smislu prepoznavanja simptoma, rane dijagnoze i liječenja. Limfom je najčešći oblik raka limfnog tkiva, koje ima veliku ulogu u obrani od infekcija jer je sastavni dio obrambenog sustava organizma. Ne postoje programi ranog otkrivanja ove bolesti, zato je jedini način za rano otkrivanje limfoma edukacija i informiranje javnosti o limfomu kao oboljenju o kojem se malo zna. Limfomi su zloćudne bolesti limfocita. Dijele se na dvije velike skupine: Hodgkinova bolest i non-Hodgkinovi limfomi ili limfocitni limfomi. U Hrvatskoj od 100.000 stanovnika od limfoma će oboljeti njih 15, što iznosi oko 675 oboljelih svake godine. U svijetu 1 milijun ljudi živi s limfomom, a svakodnevno se dijagnosticira skoro 1000 novooboljelih. Najčešći simptomi su: - bezbolna oteklina u području vrata, pazuha ili prepone, - noćno znojenje, - neobjašnjiva groznica, - gubitak težine i umor, - kašalj i zadihanost, - svrab po cijelom tijelu. Otekline povezane s non-Hodgkinovim limfomom također se manifestiraju u drugim dijelovima tijela, npr. trbuh, živčani sustav i koža. Jedina metoda za preciznu dijagnozu limfoma je biopsija povećanih limfnih čvorova. Podizanje svijesti o limfomima omogućit će bolje prepoznavanje znakova i simptoma bolesti, što će dovesti do ranijeg dijagnosticiranja i pravovremenog liječenja, veće dostupnosti informacija, kao i primjene programa potpore bolesniku i obitelji. Hrvatska udruga leukemija i limfomi (HULL) okuplja oboljele od leukemije, limfoma i ostalih hematoloških bolesti te: 1.informira o bolestima i mogućnostima liječenja 2.posreduje u dobivanju psihoonkološke pomoći 3.angažira se u poboljšanju bolničke svakodnevice 4.organizira obilježavanja: - Europskog tjedna leukemije, limfoma i mijeloma (od 21. do 28. lipnja) - Svjetskog dana limfoma (15. rujna) Više o ovoj temi potražite na: http://www.hull.hr/ http://www.zaklada-ana-rukavina.hr/ Izvor: Zavod za javno zdravstvo dr.
