A: blood cancer, also known as leukemia .
Our blood is
made by the bone marrow in the production of blood problems occur within the
process , constantly making abnormal white blood cell , so that to reduce the
number of normal white blood cells . Therefore, the patient's
resistance will be reduced , are susceptible to bacterial infections, such as
sore throat or pneumonia and other diseases.
In
addition, because the cancer will be the impact of bone marrow to produce enough
red blood cells can not and platelets , and blood deficiency , the patient is
likely to have anemia , for example, white face blue lips , or easily fatigued
and asthma , but there is not enough platelets,
the patient's skin with small red petechiae promise collisions will be presented
and there may be blood in the stool and blood flow tooth phenomenon , so there
is the phenomenon you should immediately consult a doctor for a thorough
examination .
Treatment
of leukemia , it is mainly used anticancer drugs , but the use of anticancer
drugs have side effects , because the anti-cancer drugs destroy cancer cells on
the one hand , but on the other hand will also damage normal bone marrow tissue
. If the patient's body is
relatively healthy, and no other diseases, a greater chance of recovery .
However , if the
patient 's body is relatively weak, such as liver or kidney function
debilitating adverse reactions to drugs , the doctor will limit the choice of
medication . As
to whether the effect of treatment ideal time to discover the prevalence of
early or late , is suffering from leukemia and is the kind , patient 's age or a
few large, because early detection of the disease , while younger patients , the
cure will be a few more , while patients aged below 40 ,
with the anti-cancer drug treatment of leukemia , the chance of recovery are
about 50 percent.
In
addition, there is a new bone marrow transplantation existing Zhi method can
treat leukemia . Bo
first with a lot of doctors anticancer drugs or radiation therapy, the patient
's body cell leukemia tin completely eliminated ; due process, normal bone
marrow cells are destroyed, so the doctor who will be willing to donate bone
marrow , injected sick, of
course, the type of bone marrow , the same needs and the sick , we can have the
desired effect.
Bone marrow
transplantation Zhi process , about three to four weeks to complete.
During
this period, the new bone marrow will then gradually grow , but the patient is
still no resistance to pathogens , and they must live in the corner away from
the ward , to avoid infection , to return to normal until the bone marrow ,
blood and can be re- manufactured after the sick the resistance will return to
normal.
