Lymph node cancer<\/strong> is also called lymphoma.\u00a0There are mainly two types of lymphoma in children and adolescents: Hodgkin’s lymphoma and Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma.\u00a0It is more common that young children get Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma and older children and adolescents get Hodgkin’s lymphoma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Lymph nodes are found, for example, on the neck, in the armpit, between the lungs, in the groins, and at the large body pulmonary artery.\u00a0Most children who get cancer of the lymph nodes<\/em> get rid of the disease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The most common symptom of lymph node cancer<\/span> is that the baby gets\u00a0swollen lymph nodes.\u00a0It does not usually hurt, but the glands feel clear and do not disappear after some time.\u00a0Swollen lymph nodes can also be caused by things other than cancer, such as an infection.\u00a0The child needs to be examined by a doctor who can determine the cause.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The doctor may need to take a tissue sample, also called a biopsy, from the swelling.\u00a0If the test shows that it is cancer, the child may have blood tests and several other tests such as computed tomography,\u00a0\u00a0magnetic camera examination,\u00a0and ultrasound examination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It is also common for the doctor to want to check if cancer has spread to the bone marrow, especially in Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma.\u00a0Then the baby is\u00a0asleep.\u00a0During the anesthesia, samples are taken from the hip bone comb, sometimes both in the form of a so-called puncture, where you take out the liquid bone marrow, and a so-called drill biopsy, where you take a small piece of bone marrow tissue for analysis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If the child has Hodgkin’s lymphoma, treatment usually begins with the child receiving cytostatic treatment for two weeks and then an equal pause. In total, the child receives two, four or six treatment periods depending on the nature of the disease. The child can usually stay at home for most of the treatment. Some children also receive radiotherapy after the cytostatic treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Some children with Hodgkin’s lymphoma may need more powerful treatment with cytostatics, a so-called high-dose treatment with stem cell support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Cytostatic are also used in Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma.\u00a0Then the treatment is more intensive and can last from a few months up to two years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A child receiving intensive treatment may temporarily stay in the plant.\u00a0When treatment is over, the child grows up again and usually does not become shorter than other children…<\/p>\n\n\n\n Health care is trying to avoid such cytostatic drugs that have previously been shown to impair fertility.\u00a0The child should still receive the help available to preserve fertility after the cancer treatment.\u00a0Sperm can be stored for freezing.\u00a0It may also be possible to take all or part of an ovary and freeze it, but there you can consult with the doctor what possibilities are available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The child needs to go on post-check-ups quite often for several years, partly to find out if the illness is coming back, and partly to see how the child develops and the body functions after treatment. Children who have received radiotherapy and certain types of cytostatic drugs need to continue to go on controls even when they are adults.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Lymph node cancer is also called lymphoma.
