Dr. Liu Feng
Stage III non-Hodgkin lymphoma is a relatively severe stage of the disease, at which time the tumor has spread to nearby lymph nodes or other organs. For this situation, the treatment strategy should comprehensively consider the following aspects:
1. Chemotherapy: As one of the main treatment methods for stage III non-Hodgkin lymphoma, chemotherapy uses chemical drugs to kill cancer cells, thereby controlling tumor growth and spread.
2. Radiation therapy: Radiation therapy uses high-energy rays to kill cancer cells and plays an important role in locally controlling tumor growth and spread.
3. Targeted therapy: Targeted therapy interferes with cancer cell growth and spread through specific molecular mechanisms and signaling pathways, offering higher precision and safety.
