Patient's question:
Daughter was fine all day, but suddenly vomited when going to sleep at night. She vomited continuously three times.Doctor's answer:
The treatment of childhood leukemia primarily involves chemotherapy, with only a small number of high-risk patients requiring radiotherapy or hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. The principle of chemotherapy is the combination of multiple drugs and multi-cycle treatment, with the intensity and regimen determined based on clinical risk stratification. Although the treatment methods vary among different groups, the principles remain unchanged. After induction therapy, consolidation therapy (also known as intensification therapy) and maintenance therapy are administered to eliminate residual leukemia. Central nervous system treatment begins in the early stages of clinical management, with the duration of treatment determined by the patient's risk of relapse, the intensity of systemic treatment, and whether cranial radiation was used.
