Lymphoma Center
Introduction
The Lymphoma Center of Ewha Womans University Blood Cancer Hospital is setting new standards in lymphoma treatment based on its extensive clinical experience and cutting-edge therapeutic techniques. Lymphoma is a type of blood cancer that arises from the abnormal proliferation of lymphocytes - the cells responsible for the immune system - in lymphatic tissues such as the lymph nodes, spleen, and bone marrow. It is the most common form of blood cancer in the country, with approximately 6,000 new cases reported annually. At the Lymphoma Center, a multidisciplinary approach is essential. To that end, various specialists, including pathologists specializing in accurate diagnosis, hematologists specializing in lymphoma treatment, and radiation oncologists, collaborate closely to determine the optimal treatment strategy for each patient. In order to provide patients with the highest standard of medical service, several specialized teams at the Lymphoma Center of Ewha Womans University Blood Cancer Hospital actively participate in the entire treatment process. More specifically, medical personnel from the fertility preservation team safeguard reproductive potential before and after treatment, working closely together with the radiation therapy team, infectious disease specialists, and radiologists and pathologists. Lymphomas require personalized treatment approaches appropriate for each pathological sub-type, ranging from aggressive to indolent lymphomas. To achieve the best outcomes for patients, the Lymphoma Center has introduced advanced cellular therapies for high-risk patients, including hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, CAR-T cell therapy, and bispecific antibody treatments. The center also offers optimal treatment strategies for elderly patients. Furthermore, the center is actively conducting clinical trials at home and abroad to develop new therapeutic agents and treatment methods, ensuring that patients have access to the latest treatment opportunities. Since early diagnosis and an optimal treatment strategy are crucial for successful patient management, the Lymphoma Center of Ewha Womans University Blood Cancer Hospital meticulously analyzes the specific characteristics and conditions of each patient’s disease in order to deliver the most effective therapy, based on its abundant clinical experience and the latest technology.
