Dr. Liu Feng
The treatment of hepatic lymphoma should be tailored to the individual patient's condition, and mainly includes the following approaches:
1. Radiation therapy: Applicable for patients with early-stage lymphoma, it can be used alone or as consolidation treatment after chemotherapy, or as an adjunct during transplantation.
2. Chemotherapy: Combination chemotherapy is commonly used, often incorporating targeted therapeutic agents and biologic preparations to enhance treatment efficacy.
3. Bone marrow transplantation: Primarily autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is used for intermediate- to high-risk patients under 60 years old who can tolerate high-dose chemotherapy.
4. Surgical treatment: Mainly used for biopsy or management of complications, such as splenectomy for hypersplenism, to improve blood parameters and create favorable conditions for chemotherapy.
