Tag: leukaemia

Leukemia (sometimes spelled leukaemia) is a cancer of the body’s blood-forming tissues, including the bone marrow and the lymphatic system. It usually involves the white blood cells, which are potent infection fighters. In people with leukemia, the bone marrow produces an excessive amount of abnormal white blood cells, which don’t function properly.

    Managing leukaemia involves a combination of treatments tailored to the specific type of leukaemia, the patient’s overall health, and other individual factors. Here are some common approaches:

    1. Chemotherapy: This is the primary treatment for many types of leukaemia. It uses drugs to kill leukaemia cells. Depending on the type, you might receive a single drug or a combination.

    2. Targeted Therapy: These drugs target specific abnormalities in cancer cells. By blocking these abnormalities, the drugs can help kill the cancer cells.

    3. Radiation Therapy: This uses high-energy beams to damage leukaemia cells and stop their growth. It can be directed at specific areas or the whole body.

    4. Bone Marrow Transplant: Also known as a stem cell transplant, this procedure replaces unhealthy bone marrow with healthy stem cells, which can regenerate healthy bone marrow.

    5. Immunotherapy: This treatment helps your immune system recognize and attack leukaemia cells.

    6. Palliative Care: For patients who may not be candidates for intensive treatments, palliative care focuses on managing symptoms and improving quality of life.
    7. Homoeopathic: Symptomatic Homoeopathic Treatment.

    Each patient’s treatment plan is unique and should be discussed with a healthcare provider to determine the best approach based on their specific situation.

    Leukemia is primarily diagnosed by physical examination such as pale skin and the swelling of lymph nodes. A blood test can often suggest the diagnosis of leukemia, as abnormal cells are often detected in the blood test. Further tests are usually done to confirm the diagnosis, such as:

    1. Complete blood count (CBC): To check for the levels of platelets and white blood cells and check for abnormalities.
    2. Bone marrow biopsy: To check for abnormalities, type, and stage of cancer. A healthcare provider uses a thin needle to remove a small amount of liquid bone marrow, usually from a spot in the back of your hipbone (pelvis).

    3. Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL): This is the most prevalent form of chronic leukemia in adults.
    4. Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML): This type of leukemia starts in the bone marrow, creating an abnormally high number of unhealthy white blood cells known as granulocytes.

    There are many types of leukemia, some forms are more common in children while others occur mostly in adults. The exact cause of leukemia is unknown, but it seems to develop from a combination of genetic and environmental factors.
