Patient's question:
Recently, I've experienced feverish body temperature, recurring cough, and some knee joint pain. I went to the hospital for many related tests, and the doctor said it's leukemia. I want to know what methods are available for treating leukemia?Doctor's answer:
The treatment of leukemia can alleviate symptoms through chemotherapy or hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Daily care should include adequate rest, preventing colds, avoiding crowded places, and avoiding spicy foods. Rest should be paid attention to, and the immune system should be appropriately strengthened. If the bone marrow matches successfully, there is no common rejection reaction after bone marrow transplantation. Clonal leukemia cells divide and accumulate in bone marrow and other self-healing tissues, infecting other non-self-healing tissues and organs. Due to uncontrolled cell division, division disorders, and inhibition of apoptosis, normal self-healing functions are suppressed. Leukemia is usually caused by viral infection or genetic radiation. During the treatment process, it is essential to closely monitor one's physical condition.
