Can color Doppler ultrasound detect lymphoma?

Color Doppler ultrasound can assist in the diagnosis of lymphoma, but can not be diagnosed alone, suspected lymphoma should be promptly sought medical attention. Color Doppler ultrasound is generally not used to examine lymphoma, but can assist in the diagnosis of lymphoma. Lymphoma is a malignant tumor originating in the lymphoid hematopoietic system, mainly manifested as painless lymphadenopathy, hepatosplenomegaly, all organs of the body can be affected, accompanied by fever, night sweats, emaciation, itching and other systemic symptoms. Color Doppler ultrasound can be used to examine superficial lymph nodes, such as neck, armpit, groin, etc., to observe the size, shape, structure, etc. of lymph nodes, to help determine whether lymph nodes are enlarged, whether there is fusion, etc., but the diagnostic value for deep lymph nodes or extra-nodal lesions is limited. In addition, color Doppler ultrasound can also be used to evaluate the treatment effect of lymphoma patients, such as changes in the size of lymph nodes after chemotherapy. If lymphoma is suspected, a comprehensive examination, including pathological biopsy, imaging, laboratory tests, etc., is required to confirm the diagnosis. Pathological biopsy is the gold standard for the diagnosis of lymphoma, and lymph nodes or other tissues can be obtained by surgery or puncture for pathological examination. For high-risk groups with family history of lymphoma, long-term exposure to carcinogens, low immune function, etc., regular physical examination should be carried out in order to early detection, early diagnosis and early treatment. In short, color Doppler ultrasound can assist in the diagnosis of lymphoma, but it cannot rely solely on color Doppler ultrasound to diagnose lymphoma. If lymphoma is suspected, medical treatment should be sought in time for comprehensive examination and diagnosis.
