Tony's Cancer Page - Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma (NHL) INTRODUCTION. The purpose of this page is to briefly report on my experiencewith Cancer (nonhodgkins lymphoma), which began in May of 1988. http://inspirezone.org/tonycan.htm
Extractions: BACKGROUND In 1988, I was a very active and healthy person. I had spent my 42 years basically without any health problems. No broken bones, no trips to the hospital for any reason, no doctor visits except for routine check-ups. I lived a very healthy lifestyle, which involved running 5 to 10 miles daily and competing in weekend road races along with my wife Donna. I had a very healthy diet consisting of a low-fat, high carbohydrate regimen. I coached cross-country at the High School and each day, trained with my team and then ran with Donna when I got home from practice. I thought that I was probably one of the healthiest people in Toccoa, Georgia. That's when I started having problems. FAMILY REACTION One of the toughest parts was telling my family. I was doing fine at first but when I saw my Dad cry, it broke me up. My wife was a strong, loving, pillar of support throughout the ordeal and my Mom and Dad and my two brothers and their families were always there and more than willing to do anything that they could to help out. I drew most of my strength from the prayers of my family and of my Church family and my extended Christian Family. Early on, I turned the whole situation over to God who had sent Jesus to be my personal Savior. I understood from the beginning that as a Christian, I was not promised that I would never have problems, but I was promised that He would never leave me or forsake me.

Because NHL is one out of 20 cancers diagnosed each year in the US, and because it has been increasing in frequency for the past several decades, the authors of a new study said that NHL is "an increasingly important contributor to the overall cancer burden." This year 53,900 people will be diagnosed with NHL, and 24,400 will die from the disease, according to the American Cancer Society. In a recent report in the journal Cancer (Vol 94: 2015-2023), Christina Clarke, PhD and Sally Glaser, PhD, both from the Northern California Cancer Center, took a careful look at the groups of people (by age, race and sex) who develop NHL.

Extractions: Conrad Notes Index ASH Index a timely medical meeting newsletter IDARUBICIN (IDA) FOR OLDER NON-HODGKINS LYMPHOMA PATIENTS Adriamycin (ADRIA) with low dose IDA in a complex regimen showed less myelosupression and lethal toxicity. Please see US package inserts on idarubicin ( Idamycin ) and doxorubicin ( Adriamycin Background on IDA and ADRIA As anthracyclines, both drugs produce cytotoxicity by binding to nucleic acids, interfering with nucleotide replication, and by blocking DNA and RNA polymerases. The cytocidal activity may be due to interaction with the enzyme topoisomerase II resulting in DNA-cleavable complexes. IDA is more lipophilic, penetrates cells faster, and is superior to ADRIA in treating acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Patient selection Cabanillas and coworkers entered 156 APPNHL patients presenting an unfavorable tumor score predictive of a 3-year survival rate of 28% using standard CHOP therapy. (CHOP is the acronym for a regimen of cyclophosphamide, ADRIA, vincristine, and prednisone.) Fifty-two (37%) of the 142 evaluable patients were >60 years old and at increased risk. In view of the patients' poor prognosis, all received a complex regimen as basic treatment. One group of patients had low-dose IDA instead of ADRIA according to random assignment. The basic regimen, called ATT, consisted of Solu-Medrol

Extractions: Adult non-Hodgkin's lymphoma is a disease in which malignant (cancer) cells form in the lymph system. The lymph system is part of the immune system and is made up of the following: Lymph: Colorless, watery fluid that travels through the lymph system and carries white blood cells called lymphocytes. Lymphocytes protect the body against infections and the growth of tumors. Lymph vessels: A network of thin tubes that collect lymph from different parts of the body.
Non-Hodg Pesticides and nonhodgkins lymphoma News Release 2 July 1999. Case control studyof non-hodgkins lymphoma and Exposure to Pesticides L Hardell, M Eriksson. http://www.pan-uk.org/press/nonhodg.htm
Extractions: News Release: 2 July 1999 A case-control study of Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma (NHL) based on 442 cases and twice the number of controls was carried out in Sweden. Exposure was assessed by questionnaire. It had been thought that exposure to 2,4,5-T (contaminated with TCDD dioxin) was a risk factor in NHL. However, 2,4,5-T was banned in Sweden in 1977. It now seems that the phenoxy herbicide MCPA may be a risk factor. Increased risk was found for subjects exposed to herbicides. Within the herbicide group, phenoxy herbicides were associated with most risk, and MCPA within this group had the most significant increased risk. For several categories of herbicide, only exposure during the most recent decades before diagnosis of NHL was associated with an increased risk of NHL Apart from the statistics, two other features suggest this. Firstly, the rise in NHL parallels the first and subsequent use of MCPA. Also, immunosuppression is a risk factor for NHL and immunotoxic effects are reported for MCPA. Glyphosate exposure carried an increased risk apparently (but only 4 cases examined). Gene mutations and chromosomal aberrations have been reported in mouse lymphoma cells exposed to glyphosate. Subjects exposed to glyphosate (and other pesticides) have an increased risk of hairy cell leukaemia, a rare type of NHL. Glyphosate deserves further study.

Extractions: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Patient 1: A 28-year-old hospital clerk complained of back and shoulder pain starting in early March 1981. Within a few days he had swelling of the right eye and an unsteady gait, and he was hospitalized on March 21. "Shotty" peripheral lymphadenopathy was present. A biopsy of an orbital mass and an enlarged cervical lymph node disclosed DUNHL. A myelogram revealed a T4-T6 block by an extradural mass. Radiation and chemotherapy led to complete remission. In September 1981, another tumor in the spinal cord was treated with radiation. The ensuing remission was temporary, and the patient died with disseminated DUNHL on January 15, 1982. Patient 2: A 33-year-old nurse developed a tumor in his left lower jaw in October 1981. Penicillin was given for a suspected abscess, but the mass enlarged. A biopsy on November 24 disclosed DUNHL. Tumor cells contained surface IgM, kappa type, indicating a B-cell tumor. The tumor involved a left axillary lymph node, the retroperitoneum, the bone marrow, and the meninges. Generalized "reactive" lymphadenopathy and mild splenomegaly were present. Systemic and intrathecal chemotherapy led to temporary tumor regression; the patient relapsed and died in March 1982.

Extractions: Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma Non-Hodgkins lymphomas are cancers of the lymph system. When lymphatic cells change (mutate) and grow unregulated by the processes that normally decide cell growth and death, they can form tumors. The lymph system is made up of thin tubes that branch to all parts of the body. Its job is to fight infection and disease. The lymph system carries lymph, a colorless fluid containing white blood cells called lymphocytes. Lymphocytes fight germs in the body. B-lymphocytes (also called B-cells) make antibodies to fight bacteria, and T-lymphocytes (also called T-cells) kill viruses and foreign cells and trigger the B-cells to make antibodies. Groups of bean-shaped organs called lymph nodes are located throughout the body at different sites in the lymph system. Lymph nodes are found in clusters in the abdomen, groins, pelvis, underarms, and neck. Other parts of the lymph system include the spleen, which makes lymphocytes and filters blood; the thymus, an organ under the breastbone; and the tonsils, located in the throat Because lymph tissue is found in so many parts of the body, non-Hodgkins lymphoma can start almost anywhere and can spread to almost any organ in the body. Common sites outside lymph nodes where lymphoma can start include the stomach, bowel and thyroid gland
