Chemotherapy: the only way to leukemia patients

Acute and chronic treatment there are some differences. First, to use selective chemotherapy, no matter what you type, myeloid or non-myeloid, acute Ye Hao, chronic Ye Hao, preferred are the chemotherapy. Only the different types of chemotherapy drugs, acute leukemia with intravenous chemotherapy is chemotherapy, drug use softener, and so a series of. Treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia in chronic phase in the course of the disease, accelerated phase, blastic phase three stages to take a different treatment.

Self-diagnosis of acute leukemia patients should be given the date that the active chemotherapy, unless the patient at the clinic when combined with serious infections (such as pneumonia or sepsis, etc.) or significant systemic bleeding tendency. May be active in anti-infection, blood transfusion or apheresis platelet therapy under the premise that the situation seems to be a general improvement in patients with active systemic chemotherapy after the child, such power should not be too long waiting period, because of infection or bleeding in patients with leukemia leukemia itself cause, due to leukemia cells in hematopoietic tissue in the upper hand, inhibit the normal hematopoiesis, leading to neutrophil and platelet and other severely reduced, which leads to a serious infection or bleeding, as soon as possible control of leukemia and normal hematopoietic stem cells will facilitate the early recovery, will be to help control infection and bleeding tendency.

Of chronic leukemia patients, regardless of CML, or CLL, since the date of diagnosis should also be given appropriate chemotherapy, but the intensity of treatment should be distinguished from acute leukemia, chronic leukemia, mainly due to age of onset is too large, the leukemia progress (in particular, CLL) general slow, too strong or active chemotherapy, anti-may increase the risk of treatment-related, such as organ failure, or immune to further lower due to serious life-threatening infections.

In addition to chemotherapy, transplantation, targeted therapy, is there any kind of immunotherapy. Interferon as part of immune therapy. Immunotherapy is a treatment of immune cells, and one drug treatment, the treatment of immune cells is the patient's cells from the blood inside the separated cells in vitro by a number of factors, it becomes a killer cells and back again input into the bloodstream, this killer cells can recognize tumor cells for destruction.

There is also a direct to patients with some immune agents, such as interferon also IL-Ⅱ, etc., all call immunotherapy.
