Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma


 


 

The patient is affected by adenopathy of a left lateral cervical lymph node. After histological examination performed on biopsy material, the patient is diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma (figure 1)

In November, the treatment with sodium bicarbonate salts is started; 500 cc at 5% solution administered in the peritoneal cavity twice a week for two months. At the same time, the same quantity and solution is administered intravenously for two months, two days on and two days off.

 

CAT scans performed on August 29, 2000, December 1, 2000 (figure 2), and February 27, 2001 (figure 3) show a remarkable decrease of the neoplastic masses. The last CAT report says: “Instead of a massive adenopathic conglobate, there is only the presence of circumscribed streaks of thickening…”, (we can add that this is enough to deduce their cicatrizing origin).
