Ngaba unomhlaza wolusu? Masifunde ngeCutaneous T-Cell Lymphoma (CTCL)!

Ngaba unamabala, amaqhuqhuva, okanye iindawo ezinombala oluhlaza eluswini lwakho ezirhawuzelelayo? Ngamanye amaxesha sicinga ukuba ezi ziimeko nje eziqhelekileyo zesikhumba, ezifana ne -psoriasis okanye i-eczema. Kodwa, nangona zingaqhelekanga, kunokubakho into enzulu ngakumbi emva kwezi mpawu. Kulungile, uhlobo olungaqhelekanga lomhlaza oluchaphazela ulusu lubizwa ngokuba yi-Cutaneous T-Cell Lymphoma, okanye i-CTCL. Makhe sithethe ngayo ngokweenkcukacha nangokulula namhlanje.

Yintoni iCutaneous T-Cell Lymphoma (CTCL)?

Ngamafutshane, i-CTCL luhlobo olungaqhelekanga lomhlaza wegazi oluchaphazela ulusu, elona lungu likhulu emzimbeni wethu. Enyanisweni yinxalenye yeqela elikhulu lomhlaza elibizwa ngokuba yi-Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma. Liqala kuhlobo lweseli emhlophe yegazi ebizwa ngokuba yiLymphocytes, ngakumbi ii-T lymphocytes.

Abantu abaninzi bacinga ukuba umhlaza yinto yokoyika. Nangona kunjalo, abantu abaninzi abane-CTCL bayaphila kakuhle emva konyango baze babuyele kubomi babo besiqhelo. Nangona kunjalo, kuqhelekile ukuziva uxinezelekile kancinci xa ufumanisa ukuba unomhlaza. Iqela lakho lezonyango likulungele ukukunceda ngeli xesha.

Ziziphi iintlobo eziphambili ze-CTCL?

Nangona kukho iintlobo ezahlukeneyo ze-`(CTCL)`, kukho iintlobo ezimbini eziphambili esizibonayo:

1. I-Mycosis Fungoides (I-Mycosis Fungoides):

• Olu lolona hlobo luqhelekileyo lwe-CTCL, kwaye luhlobo lomhlaza olunobundlongondlongo kakhulu . Malunga nesiqingatha sabo bonke abaguli be-CTCL bakweli hlobo.
• Oku kwenzeka xa iiseli ezibizwa ngokuba yi-"T cells" okanye "T lymphocytes" zisiba ziiseli zomhlaza.
• Ngethamsanqa, ezi seli zomhlaza zihlala zisasazeka kancinci kakhulu ngaphaya kolusu. Nangona kunjalo, ngamanye amaxesha ezinye zezi seli zinokuhamba ziye kwii-lymph nodes zakho nasegazini.
• Xa ezi "T-cells" zinomhlaza zijikeleza egazini, oogqirha bazibiza ngokuba "zii-Sézary cells".

2. Isifo sikaSézary:

• Olu luhlobo lwe-CTCL olukhula ngokukhawuleza . Kule nto, ungabona inani elikhulu leeseli ze-Sézary kulusu lwakho nasegazini .
• Ngamanye amaxesha, imeko ethi `(Mycosis Fungoides)` inokuba nzima ize ikhule ibe yi`(Sézary Syndrome)`.
• Abantu abanale meko bafumana utshintsho olukhulu eluswini lwabo.

Ixhaphake kangakanani le sifo?

Ii-T-cell Lymphoma zesikhumba azixhaphakanga . Umzekelo, eMelika, uhlobo oluqhelekileyo lwe-CTCL, iMycosis Fungoides, kuqikelelwa ukuba luchaphazela malunga nomntu omnye kwisigidi. Le meko ikwaxhaphakile naseSri Lanka.

Zithini iimpawu ze-(CTCL)?

Iimpawu ze-CTCL zinokwahluka kumntu nomntu. Nangona kunjalo, nazi ezinye zezona mpawu zixhaphakileyo:

• Amaqhuma okanye amaqhuma avela eluswini, ngamanye amaxesha aqhuma.
• Ukulahleka kweenwele.
• Ukutshintsha kombala wolusu okusasazeka emzimbeni wonke, okurhawuzelelayo , njengokurhawuzelelwa.
• Ukutshintsha kombala okufana namabala kulusu.
• Irhashalala erhawuzelelayo ephakamayo, ngamanye amaxesha enamaxolo, phezu kolusu.
• Ii-lymph nodes ezivuvukileyo.

Okanye iinwele zakho ziqala ukuwela kwezinye iindawo ngaphandle kwesizathu. Ukuba ubona into efana nale, musa ukuyityeshela nje .

Zithini izizathu ze-(CTCL)?

Enyanisweni, okwenzekayo kwi-`(Cutaneous T-cell Lymphoma)` kukuba iiseli zethu ze-`(T lymphocytes)` ziyaguquka (`mutate`) zibe ziiseli zomhlaza ezahlukana ngokungalawulekiyo. Oogqirha abasazi ukuba kutheni i-`(CTCL)` ikhula , okanye kutheni abanye abantu benokuba nayo. Nangona kunjalo, kukho izinto ezimbini ekucingelwa ukuba zidlala indima:

1. Iinguqu zemfuza/iinguqu: Abaphandi bafumanise ukuba utshintsho kwiimfuza ezithile lunokubangela le meko. Oko kukuthi, utshintsho oluncinci kwezinye zemfuza emizimbeni yethu lunokubangela ukuba ezi seli ziguquke zibe ziiseli zomhlaza .

2. Iintsholongwane: Xa unentsholongwane, inkqubo yakho yomzimba yokuzikhusela isebenza kakhulu. Ngenxa yoko, umongo wakho uqala ukuvelisa ii-lymphocytes ezingaphezulu. Kufana nomzi-mveliso onyusa imveliso. Xa usebenza ngokukhawuleza, ngamanye amaxesha iimpazamo zinokwenzeka. Ezi mpazamo zibizwa ngokuba ziinguqu ze-DNA ezichaphazela ii-genes eziphambili kwi-lymphocytes. Ekugqibeleni, oku kunokukhokelela kwi-lymphoma.

Ziziphi izinto ezibangela umngcipheko wokukhula (i-CTCL)?

Abanye abantu banamathuba amaninzi okuphuhlisa i-`(Cutaneous T-cell Lymphoma)`. Nazi:

• Ukuba ngumntu omnyama. (Nangona oku kufunyenwe yinzululwazi, kufuneka uphando olongezelelekileyo ukuze kubonwe indlela okuwachaphazela ngayo amazwe afana nelethu.)
