Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL):
Treatments
Today, I will be discussing the
different treatment options for fighting ALL.
When deciding what treatment to follow for ALL a number of factors need
to be taken into account. The appearance
of the lymphocytes, the subtype, whether the patient has had cancer treatment
in the past, whether ALL is left the bone marrow, presence of systemic
infection, and the patients age and general health.
Cancer treatment has come so far
today! We are so lucky that there are
now choices and different ways to fight this horrible childhood illness. Lets explore these treatment options below:
Chemotherapy-
a toxic drug is administered to the body that works by killing the cancer
cells, but it also affects many of the health cells. A central line is placed surgically in a vein
in the upper chest. This line works as a
port where medication and chemo can be administered and blood tests can be
drawn from. This port makes it so the
patient does not need to be constantly stuck with needles. The goal of induction is remission meaning
eliminating leukoblastic cells from the body.
Many times remission is not achieved after one round of treatment and
additional rounds are required.
Central
Nervous System (CNS) Prophylaxis- cancer cells often collect in the spinal cord
and brain. It this is not treated
relapse will likely occur. A drug is
injected directly into the spinal column and other hard places the chemotherapy
cannot reach.
Stem Cell
Transplantation- Many patients need more than chemotherapy and will follow this
treatment with a stem cell transplant.
It can be challenging to find a perfect match; many times it is a family
member that meets the criteria. A stem
cell transplant can be dangerous for the patient. In order to accept the transplant the patient’s
immunsystem needs to be wiped out so the body does not reject the new stem
cells entering the body. However, when
the transplant is a success the results can be amazing!
With all of these treatments the
patient immune system needs to be closely protected. All of these treatments greatly weaken the
immune system, exposure to the simplest cold can be fatal to the patient. These are some of the most common
treatments. However, science is constantly
changing and improving! We should all be
excited about what cancer treatment looks like in the future!

ReplyDeleteI'm 55-year-old from Korean, I was diagnosed with second-stage liver cancer following a scheduled examination to monitor liver cirrhosis. I had lost a lot of weight. A CT scan revealed three tumors; one in the center of my liver in damaged tissue and two in healthy portions of my liver. No chemotherapy or radiotherapy treatment was prescribed due to my age, the number of liver tumors. One month following my diagnosis I began taking 12 (350 point) Salvestrol supplements per day, commensurate with my body weight. This comprised six Salvestrol Shield (350 point) capsules and six Salvestrol Gold (350 point) capsules, spread through the day by taking two of each capsule after each main meal. This level of Salvestrol supplementation (4,000 points per day) was maintained for four months. In addition, I began a program of breathing exercises, chi exercises, meditation, stretching and stress avoidance. Due to the variety of conditions that I suffered from, I received ongoing medical examinations. Eleven months after commencing Salvestrol supplementation But all invalid so I keep searching for a herbal cure online that how I came across a testimony appreciating Dr Itua on how he cured her HIV/Herpes, I contacted him through email he listed above, Dr Itua sent me his herbal medicine for cancer to drink for two weeks to cure I paid him for the delivering then I received my herbal medicine and drank it for two weeks and I was cured until now I'm all clear of cancer, I will advise you to contact Dr Itua Herbal Center On Email...drituaherbalcenter@gmail.com.
