In this episode, we dive deep into Lymphoma , breaking down its pathogenesis, clinical presentation, and the latest advancements in treatment. We explore the key differences between Hodgkin and Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma , examining the role of Reed-Sternberg cells, CD markers, and genetic mutations that define these malignancies. Our discussion includes high-yield diagnostic tools like lymph node biopsy, flow cytometry, PET/CT imaging, and molecular studies , helping you differentiate between indolent and aggressive subtypes. We also analyze cutting-edge treatments, including immunotherapy, targeted monoclonal antibodies (e.g., rituximab), chemotherapy regimens like R-CHOP, and the role of stem cell transplantation in refractory cases. Additionally, we cover disease progression, prognostic factors, and complications such as tumor lysis syndrome and secondary malignancies .
