1. Lymphadenopathy
Painless, progressively enlarging lymph nodes, commonly in the neck or axilla, often with a rubbery consistency; in advanced stages, nodes may become matted and fixed.
2. B symptoms
Unexplained fever, drenching night sweats, and more than 10% body weight loss within 6 months, reflecting active disease.
3. General fatigue
Persistent fatigue that is not relieved by rest, often related to tumor metabolism and anemia, and may interfere with daily activities.
4. Skin manifestations
Generalized pruritus, erythroderma, rash, or nodules, often worse at night, and in some cases may be the initial manifestation.
5. Symptoms due to organ involvement
Gastrointestinal involvement may cause abdominal pain or gastrointestinal bleeding; thoracic involvement may cause cough or dyspnea; skeletal involvement may cause pain or fractures.
6. Multisystem manifestations
Anemia may cause pallor and palpitations; thrombocytopenia may lead to bleeding; neutropenia increases susceptibility to infection.
7. Gastrointestinal symptoms
Loss of appetite, early satiety, nausea, and vomiting may occur and can contribute to malnutrition and cachexia.
8. Compression symptoms
A mediastinal mass may cause superior vena cava syndrome, while spinal cord compression can result in neurological dysfunction.
Jinshazhou Hospital of Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine emphasizes that lymphoma has complex and varied manifestations and can seriously threaten life and health. Early recognition of symptoms and prompt medical evaluation are key to improving cure rates. Standardized diagnosis and treatment can effectively control disease, but prevention and early detection remain the best strategies. The public should remain vigilant, undergo regular health examinations, and maintain a healthy lifestyle.
