jpnn.comJAKARTA – Hodgkin’s lymphoma can be cured if it is caught early and treated continuously
Hodgkin’s lymphoma is a disease that is often not diagnosed correctly until it reaches an advanced stage.
Therefore, it is important to educate about the need for early detection, as well as support for patients who are fighting against this cancer.
“In Indonesia, awareness about Hodgkin’s Lymphoma is still very low,” said Dr. Dr. Andhika Rachman, SpPD-KHOM, hematology-oncology expert in the education “Recognize Hodgkin’s Lymphoma” held by PT Takeda Indonesia in collaboration with the Ministry of Health, Thursday (26/9).
He explained that the non-specific symptoms of Hodgkin Lymphoma often make the disease difficult to recognize, and many patients only find out they have cancer after the disease has reached an advanced stage.
Therefore, it is necessary to provide a platform to voice the management needs and hopes of those who are struggling to overcome this disease.
“Lymphoma is a type of cancer that attacks the lymphatic system, an important part of the human immune system,” he said.
There are two main types of lymphoma, namely Hodgkin’s and non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma.
Recognizing the symptoms of Hodgkin’s Lymphoma early will save patients from stage 4 cancer
