Chłoniak hodgkina (choroba hodgkina)
Charakterystyka, pielęgnacja i opieka

Chłoniak Hodgkina to rzadki, monoklonalny nowotwór układu limfoidalnego, charakteryzujący się obecnością komórek Reed-Sternberga i wysokim wskaźnikiem wyleczalności (pełna remisja u 75-90% pacjentów, >90% 10-letnie przeżycie). Choroba najczęściej dotyczy osób w wieku 20-40 lat oraz powyżej 60 roku życia i rozpoczyna się w węzłach chłonnych szyi, klatki piersiowej lub pach. Leczenie opiera się na chemioterapii (schematy ABVD, MOPP, Stanford V), radioterapii, immunoterapii (brentuximab vedotin, nivolumab, pembrolizumab) oraz przeszczepie szpiku kostnego. Kluczowa jest kompleksowa ocena pacjenta, monitorowanie objawów choroby i skutków ubocznych terapii, a także edukacja i wsparcie psychospołeczne. Pielęgniarka onkologiczna odgrywa istotną rolę w zarządzaniu objawami, zapobieganiu infekcjom, wsparciu żywieniowym i koordynacji opieki interdyscyplinarnej.

Chłoniak Hodgkina – charakterystyka pielęgniarska

Chłoniak Hodgkina (choroba Hodgkina) jest rzadkim nowotworem monoklonalnym układu limfoidalnego, charakteryzującym się wysokim wskaźnikiem wyleczalności. Cechą charakterystyczną odróżniającą ten typ chłoniaka od innych jest obecność komórek Reed-Sternberga – dużych, nieprawidłowych komórek nowotworowych. Choroba zazwyczaj rozpoczyna się w węzłach chłonnych, najczęściej w okolicy szyi, klatki piersiowej lub pod pachami, a następnie może rozprzestrzeniać się poprzez kanały limfatyczne na inne organy, w tym śledzionę, wątrobę i szpik kostny.12

Chłoniak Hodgkina najczęściej występuje u osób w wieku 20-40 lat oraz u osób powyżej 60 roku życia. Choroba pozostaje jednym z najbardziej uleczalnych nowotworów – przy odpowiednim leczeniu około 75-90% pacjentów osiąga pełną remisję, a ponad 90% pacjentów żyje co najmniej 10 lat po zakończeniu terapii.34

Cele opieki pielęgniarskiej

Głównym celem opieki nad pacjentem z chłoniakiem Hodgkina jest wyleczenie choroby przy jednoczesnym kontrolowaniu krótko- i długoterminowych powikłań.

    Hodgkins Disease Nursing Care Plan and Management […] Hodgkins Disease is a malignant lymphoma of the reticuloendothelial system that results in an accumulation of dysfunctional, immature lymphoid-derived cells. The disease generally spreads by lymphatic channels, involving lymph nodes, spleen, and ultimately (through the bloodstream) to extra lymphatic sites, such as gastrointestinal tract, bone marrow, skin, upper air passages, and other organs. It is most common in patient ages 20 to 40 and in those older than age 60. Its cause is unknown. […] The cause of Hodgkins disease is unknown. Many researchers have suspected an infectious component. Some of the early symptoms include fever, chills, and leukocytosis, as if a viral infection were present. Gene fragments similar to those of a murine leukemia virus have been found in Hodgkins tissue. In particular, higher than usual Epstein-Barr antibodies have been found in many Hodgkins patients, and a small increase in Hodgkins incidence has been found in people who have had the Epstein-Barr induced disease, infectious mononucleosis. Some people who have reduced immune systems, such as those with AIDS and organ transplant patients, are also at a higher risk for Hodgkins disease.

Hodgkin lymphoma is considered to be a curable malignancy, but therapies for this disease can have significant long-term toxicity. General treatment modalities include radiation therapy, induction chemotherapy, salvage chemotherapy, and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. […] The current treatment of Hodgkin lymphoma seeks to maximize the risk-benefit ratio of treatment. Thus, treatment focuses on tailoring therapy to each patient according to age, risk of short-term and long-term toxicity, and risk of relapse. […] Given the curable nature of this disease and patients long-term survival, goals for treatment are the following: Maximize cure for all stages; Minimize both short-term and long-term complications, assuming this does not have an impact on cure; Weigh the risks of toxicity (eg, elderly patients might not tolerate acute toxicities as well as younger patients, and given their prognosis from other conditions, aggressive treatment in seniors might not be indicated).
