Mantle Cell Lymphoma (MCL) Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma are cancers that do not originate in white blood cells but rather elsewhere in the lymphatic system such as a lymph node, bone marrow, spleen, or thymus and are categorized into which cells it effects such as B-cell, T-cell and NK-cells (MD Cancer Center, 2015). B-cell lymphoma represents the majority of non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (85%) and of these Mantle Cell Lymphoma (MCL) represents about 5% of the type of B-cell lymphoma (American Cancer Society, 2015)

A great number of plants and animals help out humans themselves, making medicines such as penicillin, morphine, aspirin, and vincristine have been from uncultivated plants. Oil from the liver of a cod fish is highly rich in Omega 3 and omega 6, those antioxidants help fight aging. The chemicals from lobsters and shrimp are used in the treatment of fungal infections. One big reason

vinblastine, and dacarbazine.” Patients with B symptoms or intermediate stage are treated to four to six rounds of chemotherapy. Usually these patients are treated with, “BEACOPP (bleomycin, etoposide, doxorubicin (Adriamycin) cyclophosphamide, vincristine(Onocovin), procarbazine, and prednisone)” (Lewis, p.670) Radiation is also used in conjunction with chemotherapy depending if the disease is resistant and the location of the disease. Positron emission tomography (PET) and CT scans are used to evaluate

Improving Outcomes for Cancer Patients at Risk for Chemotherapy-induced Peripheral Neuropathy Chapter One: Introduction Purpose Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) can be a severe, dose-limiting toxicity caused by the administration of the chemotherapeutic and anti-cancer biologic used to treat an individual’s cancer. The purpose of the paper is to explore the effectiveness of different treatment options for the prevention and treatment of CIPN. Additionally, this paper will determine

Patient: Female, 38 Final Diagnosis: Primary Mediastinal Large B-Cell Lymphoma Symptoms: Fatigue, intermittent distress, shortness of breath, continuous cough Medications: R-CHOP, RICE, DHAP, Revlimid, Rituximab-Cytarabine Clinical Procedure: PET/CT Specialty: Objective: Rare/Uncommon Disease Background: Primary mediastinal large b-cell lymphoma is a rare complication predominantly arises in females. It is usually associated with unique characteristics of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma and Hodgkin

ENKTL lymphoma nasal type is a rare disease common in the Southeast Asian, Mesoamericans and the South American heritage [7,8]. However, the disease is less common in the European and the African population [7,8,16]. ENKTL lymphoma nasal type accounts about 7-10% of all non-Hodgkin lymphoma present in the Southeast Asian population [8,16]. Typically, patients present with this disease in the fourth and fifth decade of life, but it can occur at any age [8]. Mean age of the patients in our studies

Alpha Lipoic Acid Alpha lipoic acid is a potent antioxidant that regulates gene expression. Lester Packer, Ph.D., scientist and professor at the Berkeley Laboratory at the University of California, refers to lipoic acid as the most powerful of all the antioxidants. He says that if he were to invent the ideal antioxidant, it would closely resemble lipoic acid, because it’s one of the antioxidants that independently scouts out free radicals, including the hydroxyl radical, the radical involved in all

This patient is mostly likely suffering from Post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder, commonly called PTLD. Besides skin cancer, PTLD is one of the most common malignancies of post transplantation (LaCasce, 2006). Approximately 15% of transplant patients develop PTLD and it has a higher incidence amongst children than adults (DynaMed Plus, 2017) PTLD has a variety of presentations which lends to the difficulty and diversity of treatment options used for the disorder. The sites affected by PTLD

This drug has been approved previously in ACEC 11/9a and 14/1b.

Hodgkin lymphoma is a type of cancer that affects the lymphatic system and as it progresses it can spread to other parts of the body and it affects the immune system and its ability to fight infections (Mayo clinic). This type of cancer affects thousands of people per year, and it its signs and symptoms are different from other cancers. These signs and symptoms, in addition with other tests can help diagnosed the disease. Once the disease is diagnosed, the patient can be received the proper treatment
