Overview
Principles of Therapy
Medical management of lymphadenopathy depends on the underlying cause.
- Antibiotics, antivirals, antifungals and antiparasitic medications are prescribed for infections due to bacteria, virus, fungi and parasites respectively.
- Chemotherapy is instituted for those tumors that cannot be treated by surgery.
- Radiation therapy is used in refractory tumors and metastatic tumors.
