A 34-year-old male was diagnosed in November 2023 with an extensive mass of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) located in the peritoneum. At the time of diagnosis, the cancer had already spread to the liver, forming multiple nodules, and was significantly affecting both liver and kidney functions. Given the advanced stage of the disease, the prognosis was initially concerning. So he and family was looking around for any Effective Treatment for Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma.
In February 2024, the patient began a treatment regimen that included ECCT, in combination with chemotherapy, which continued until June 2024. NHL is known to be a highly aggressive malignancy that often poses significant treatment challenges. However, it has shown positive responses to ECCT, especially when combined with chemotherapy. ECCT, in conjunction with chemotherapy, typically results in a rapid and significant reduction in tumor mass within the first two months of treatment. The chemotherapy plays a crucial role in suppressing the immune response caused by the accumulation of dead cells from tumor destruction, allowing the ECCT to target the remaining cancer cells more effectively.
After six months of consistent ECCT treatment, follow-up CT scan images revealed a remarkable outcome: the large mass in the peritoneum and the multiple nodules in the liver had completely cleared. This was a significant achievement, considering the aggressive nature of the disease.
At this point, the patient transitioned to continuing ECCT alone, without the need for further chemotherapy, as a preventive measure against recurrence. He was monitored closely with periodic imaging to track any changes.
A follow-up CT scan conducted one year later revealed no signs of recurrence, confirming that the treatment regimen had been highly effective. The patient remained in excellent health, with normal liver and kidney function, and experienced no further complications. His overall condition was stable, and he reported feeling well without any significant health concerns.
This case underscores the potential effectiveness of ECCT in managing aggressive non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, even when the disease has progressed to advanced stages with liver metastasis. The combination of ECCT and chemotherapy, followed by continued ECCT for maintenance, proved to be a successful strategy for him.
