Join Dr Gavin Nimon (https://glenelgorthopaedics.com.au/) (Orthopaedic Surgeon) for an enlightening episode with Dr. Joanna Czerwinski, a leading haematologist from Flinders Public Hospital, as she unravels the intricacies of lymphoid malignancies. Get ready to demystify the complexities of lymphocytic leukaemia and lymphoma — two formidable blood cancers that originate from lymphocytes. Dr. Czerwinski clarifies the distinctions between leukaemias, which impact the blood, and lymphomas, affecting the lymphatic system, with a deep dive into chronic lymphocytic leukaemia and acute lymphoblastic leukaemia, the latter being notably the most common cancer in children. Gain insight into how these conditions manifest in clinical practice and the critical symptoms they present, including constitutional symptoms and recurrent infections.
The conversation broadens to explore the landscape of lymphoma varieties, focusing on the nuances between diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and follicular lymphoma. We explore cutting-edge treatment protocols like R-CHOP chemotherapy and delve into the role of innovative therapies including monoclonal antibodies and Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitors. Dr. Czerwinski sheds light on the vital role of patient immunity and the risks arising from compromised tumor surveillance, providing a thorough examination of the treatment journey and long-term care. Stay informed on the distinctions between Hodgkin's and non-Hodgkin's lymphomas, their prognosis, and the age-related occurrences that can influence outcomes.
