Lymphoma can affect the digestive system, particularly in areas like the stomach and intestines. These cancers are called gastrointestinal lymphomas and are rare compared to other GI cancers.
Symptoms may include abdominal pain, nausea, and weight loss. Diagnosis often requires endoscopy and biopsy, followed by imaging studies to stage the disease.
Treatment typically includes chemotherapy, radiation, or a combination of both. In some cases, targeted therapies may be effective. Early detection and treatment are key to managing gastrointestinal lymphomas.
