Treatment for Leukemia

Leukemia is a malignant change in the cells of the blood and lymph system. Mainly, the changes occur with the cells in the bone marrow, which divide many times and can reach all areas of the body with the blood. There are acute and chronic forms, with acute symptoms occurring early, and chronic – later.

Also, there is a division according to the type of malignant cells: blood cells or lymph cells. Thus, four groups of leukemia arise acute myeloid leukemia (AML), acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), and chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). However, leukemias are rare compared to other cancers. Some species tend to occur in childhood (CLL), others also in older age.

The goal of leukemia treatment is to kill all cancer cells and therefore eliminate dangerous symptoms. Recovery is possible only with treatment. To do this, in acute forms, it is necessary to start therapy immediately. Forms of chronic leukemia, especially in CLL, can wait because the disease progresses very slowly and therapy is associated with significant side effects.

Chemotherapy is a necessary foundation for any type of leukemia treatment. This is usually polychemotherapy. The specialist prescribes several growth-inhibiting (cytostatic) drugs that support each other’s action. They attack leukemic cells at various points to destroy malignant tumors. Depending on the type of leukemia, additional radiation therapy, stem cell transplantation, or special targeted drugs follow. Acute leukemia requires immediate treatment.
