Lymphoma Treatment in Maui 

Living with Lymphoma can feel like a constant balancing act – getting the treatment you need while maintaining your daily routine. Here at Pacific Cancer Institute, we understand that challenge.

That’s why we’re proud to offer TrueBeam®, a groundbreaking FDA-approved technology that delivers targeted therapy tailored to your specific needs.

TrueBeam’s advanced approach minimizes disruption to your life, allowing you to fight Lymphoma on your terms.

What is Lymphoma? 

Lymphoma is a type of cancer that starts in the lymphatic system, a network crucial to your body’s immune defense. This system includes lymph nodes, vessels, and organs that produce and transport infection-fighting white blood cells called lymphocytes.

In lymphoma, these lymphocytes become abnormal and grow uncontrollably, forming tumors often in lymph nodes but also potentially in other organs.

There are two main types of lymphoma: Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) and non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). NHL is more common, affecting roughly 4% of new cancer diagnoses annually.

Early signs of lymphoma can include swollen lymph nodes, fatigue, or weight loss. Understanding lymphoma empowers you to recognize these signs and seek appropriate care.

Common Risk Factors for Lymphoma 

• Age: Lymphoma can occur at any age but is more common in older adults. 

• Gender: Certain types of lymphoma are more prevalent in men. 

• Family History: Having close relatives with lymphoma may raise your risk. 

• Weakened Immune System: Conditions or medications that weaken the immune system can increase susceptibility. 

• Infections: Certain viral and bacterial infections, like Epstein-Barr virus or Helicobacter pylori, are linked to higher lymphoma risk. 

• Chemical Exposure: Prolonged exposure to chemicals like pesticides or solvents might contribute to the risk. 

How TrueBeam is Redefining Lymphoma Treatment Standards 

Facing lymphoma can be daunting, especially when treatments seem overwhelming. The TrueBeam system offers a remarkable benefit by significantly shortening treatment times.

This advanced technology delivers radiation quickly and accurately, allowing patients to spend less time in treatment sessions.

This not only reduces the physical and emotional strain but also allows patients to return to their daily lives and routines more swiftly, providing a sense of normalcy and hope during a challenging time. 

Why TrueBeam Stands Out in Lymphoma Therapy 

• Preserved Immune Function: Traditional treatments can severely impact the immune system, but TrueBeam’s targeted approach helps preserve immune function, reducing the risk of secondary infections.
• Less Impact on Bone Marrow: TrueBeam’s precision minimizes damage to the bone marrow, which is crucial for lymphoma patients to maintain healthy blood cell production. 
• Stable Blood Counts: Unlike traditional treatments that can lead to severe drops in blood counts, TrueBeam’s targeted therapy helps maintain more stable levels, reducing the need for transfusions or additional medications. 
• Minimal Cognitive Side Effects: TrueBeam’s accuracy reduces the risk of cognitive side effects often seen with treatments that affect the brain and central nervous system.
• Reduced Risk of Secondary Cancers: The precision of TrueBeam lowers the likelihood of developing secondary cancers caused by radiation exposure to healthy tissues.
