Signs and symptoms
Signs and symptoms of lymphoma
-Like all blood cells, leukemia cells travel through the body.
-The symptoms of leukemia depend on the number of leukemia cells and where these cells collect in the body.
-People with chronic leukemia may not have symptoms. The doctor may find the disease during a routine blood test.
-People with acute leukemia usually go to their doctor because they feel sick.
-If the brain is affected, they may have headaches, vomiting, confusion, loss of muscle control, or seizures. Leukemia also can affect other parts of the body such as the digestive tract, kidneys, lungs, heart, or testes.
.Common symptoms of chronic or acute leukemia may include:
-Swollen lymph nodes that usually doesn't hurt (especially lymph nodes in the neck or armpit)
-Becoming more sensitive to the effects of alcohol or having painful lymph nodes after drinking alcohol
-Weight loss for no known reason
-Fever that does not go away
-Soaking night sweats
-Itchy skin
-Coughing, trouble breathing, or chest pain
-Weakness and tiredness that does not go away
-Pain, swelling, or a feeling of fullness in the abdomen
-Most often, these symptoms are not due to cancer. An infection or other health problems may also cause these symptoms. Only a doctor can tell the exact reason.
-Anyone with these symptoms should tell the doctor so that problems can be diagnosed and treated as early as possible.
-The extent or spread of cancer is usually described as stages.
-There is no standard staging system for brain tumors.
-Brain tumors that begin in the brain may spread to other parts of the brain and spinal cord, but they rarely spread to other parts of the body.
-Treatment of brain tumor is based the following:
-The type of cell in which the tumor began.
-Where the tumor formed in the brain.
-The amount of cancer left after surgery.
-The grade of the tumor.
