The factors of poor prognosis for people with thyroid lymphoma are advanced stage of the tumor, large size (>10 cm) as well as spreading to mediastinum. The overall survival for primary thyroid lymphoma is 50% to 70%, ranging from 80% in stage IE to less than 36% in stage IIE and IVE in 5 years. [5] [2] [citation needed]
Lymphoma is a group of blood and lymph tumors that develop from lymphocytes (a type of white blood cell). [7] The name typically refers to just the cancerous versions rather than all such tumours. [7] Signs and symptoms may include enlarged lymph nodes, fever, drenching sweats, unintended weight loss, itching, and constantly feeling tired.
The prognosis of thyroid cancer is related to the type of cancer and the stage at the time of diagnosis. For the most common form of thyroid cancer, papillary, the overall prognosis is excellent with 97%, 95%, and 90% 10, 15 and 20 year overall survival respectively. [58] The 5 year survival of all thyroid cancers, with treatment, is 98%. [10]

The use of rituximab has been established for the treatment of B-cell–derived hematologic malignancies, including follicular lymphoma (FL) and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). [ 7 ] In addition to cure-directed treatment, people can benefit from self-care to manage symptoms.
Extranodal symptoms are symptoms shown by organs or tissues outside of the lymphatic system. Examples of such signs and symptoms include splenomegaly, abdominal pain and skin rash. Other common symptoms are fever, night sweat and unexplained weight loss. [2] These symptoms are collectively called B symptoms. Mature T-cell lymphoma is fast ...

T-cell/histiocyte-rich large B-cell lymphoma (THRLBCL) is a malignancy of B cells. B-cells are lymphocytes that normally function in the humoral immunity component of the adaptive immune system by secreting antibodies that, for example, bind to and neutralize invasive pathogens .
