Who is this surgery for?
- Diagnosis of any B-cell lymphoma subtype (e.g., DLBCL, Follicular, Mantle Cell) confirmed by biopsy.
- Presence of symptoms such as persistent, painless swelling of lymph nodes, unexplained fever, night sweats, or weight loss.
- Progressive disease or relapse after initial treatment.
- High-risk features identified through staging (e.g., advanced stage, high LDH levels).
- Patient fitness for aggressive therapies like stem cell transplant in eligible cases.
How to prepare
- Comprehensive diagnostic workup including excisional lymph node biopsy, bone marrow biopsy, and PET-CT scan for staging.
- Blood tests to assess organ function, complete blood count, and infectious disease screening.
- Cardiac evaluation (like echocardiogram) and pulmonary tests if specific chemotherapies are planned.
- Dental check-up to prevent infections during immunosuppression.
- Fertility preservation counseling for patients of reproductive age.
- Discussion of the treatment plan, potential side effects, and obtaining informed consent.
Risks & possible complications
- Chemotherapy side effects: nausea, hair loss, fatigue, increased infection risk due to low blood counts (neutropenia).
- Specific drug toxicities: heart damage (from anthracyclines), nerve damage (neuropathy), or lung inflammation.
- Infusion reactions to monoclonal antibodies like chills, fever, or hypotension.
- Long-term risks: secondary cancers, infertility, or organ damage.
- Life-threatening complications like severe infection, tumor lysis syndrome (rapid cell death), or treatment-resistant disease.
Recovery & hospital stay
- Close monitoring of blood counts and for signs of infection or fever, especially in the weeks following chemotherapy cycles.
- Management of side effects with anti-nausea medications, growth factor injections, and antibiotics as needed.
- Regular follow-up visits with the hemato oncologist for physical exams and blood tests.
- Periodic imaging (like PET-CT) to assess treatment response, typically after a few cycles and at the end of therapy.
- Nutritional support, gentle exercise as tolerated, and psychological counseling to aid overall recovery.
- Long-term surveillance for recurrence and management of late effects post-treatment completion.

Patient Name: Aarav Verma. Age: 58...
Patient Name: Aarav Verma. Age: 58. Background: A dedicated high school history teacher from Pune, married with two grown children. He is an avid gardener and cricket enthusiast. Symptoms/History: For three months, Aarav experienced persistent, drenching night sweats, unexplained weight loss, and a constant feeling of fatigue he initially attributed to stress. He finally sought help after noticing a painless lump in his neck. Doctor Recommendation: After a biopsy confirmed Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma (DLBCL), his hemato-oncologist, Dr. Mehta, recommended a standard course of R-CHOP chemotherapy (6 cycles), explaining it as the most effective frontline treatment for his aggressive but potentially curable cancer. Treatment Experience: Aarav found the chemotherapy cycles challenging. The infusions left him extremely fatigued and nauseous, and he lost his hair. He had to take a leave of absence from teaching, which was emotionally difficult. His family became his pillar of support, and his students sent him cards. Emotional Journey: Before treatment, Aarav was anxious and felt his identity as a provider and active man was under threat. He feared the unknown. After completing treatment, a PET-CT scan showed complete remission. While recovering his strength slowly, the relief was profound. He felt a renewed gratitude for his family and a desire to return to his students, viewing life with a deeper, more appreciative perspective.
