When to Seek Medical Care

Swelling in the cervical, axillary, or inguinal regions, or inexplicable edema in a limb should instigate one to seek medical attention. Such engorgements may manifest from various etiologies or remain unrelated to lymphoma, but they warrant thorough examination.

If any of the ensuing symptoms endure beyond a brief span, medical consultation is warranted:

• Pyrexia
• Frigors
• Inexplicable corporeal mass reduction
• Nocturnal sudation
• Languor
• Pruritus

Succeeding Examination

Upon the culmination of primary lymphoma therapy, all pertinent assays will be reiterated to assess the treatment's efficacy.

• The results of these assays will apprise the oncologist of the patient's remissive status.
• In the event of remission, the oncologist shall proffer a regimen of periodic monitoring and follow-up consultations to vigilantly track remission and expedite the discovery of any relapses.
• Prompt adherence to these consultations and tests is of paramount importance to forestall the advent of advanced or disseminated disease.

If lymphoma re-emerges post-therapy, the oncologist is likely to propose further intervention.
