When you have young people and they've got cervical lymphadenopathy, I think you need to have Hodgkin's lymphoma in mind, and often we will get Fnas initially as kind of to assess the lymph nodes in a young person.
Ever wondered how a once fatal disease has turned into one with a promising prognosis? In this episode of 'This Pathological Life', host Steve Davis teams up with pathologist Dr. Travis Brown to take you on a journey through the history and evolution of Hodgkin lymphoma. Originally described by Thomas Hodgkin in 1832, this cancer of the lymph nodes puzzled doctors for decades.
Today, thanks to meticulous research and advances in treatment, Hodgkin lymphoma is the most common malignancy among adolescents and young adults, but with a much brighter outlook. Dr. Brown dives into the different histological patterns of Hodgkin lymphoma, shedding light on why diagnosing low-grade lymphomas can be so tricky. You'll learn about the distinctive neoplastic cells that set Hodgkin lymphoma apart and the associated symptoms like weight loss, night sweats, and fever.
The episode also features an insightful interview with Dr. Bradley Webster, a histopathologist specializing in uropathology and lymphoid pathology. He shares his expertise on the challenges pathologists face in diagnosing this disease and the evolving landscape of treatment options. From radiation therapy to new targeted therapies, you'll get a comprehensive look at how far we've come in treating Hodgkin lymphoma.
Whether you're a medical professional, a student, or just someone curious about medical history, this episode offers a rich blend of historical context and modern medical insights.
