How long can a person live with lymphoma?
Disease description:
I have a colleague who has developed lymphoma and has been feeling very down lately. I'm not sure how to help him. I just wanted to find out, how long can a person live with lymphoma?

The survival time of lymphoma patients varies from person to person and is influenced by multiple factors. The patient's physical condition and immune system significantly affect survival time. If the patient is in good physical condition with a strong immune system, timely surgery and medication may extend survival to seven years or longer. However, if the patient's physical condition is poor and immunity is low, with symptoms such as local pressure, the survival time may be about five years after appropriate treatment. The pathological type, stage of lymphoma, and the patient's age also influence survival time. For example, the five-year survival rate for patients with early-stage Hodgkin lymphoma can reach 90%, whereas patients with non-Hodgkin lymphoma generally have a lower survival rate. In addition, treatment methods and the patient's mental state are also important factors that cannot be ignored. Therefore, the survival time for lymphoma patients must be evaluated based on their specific individual conditions.
