Patient's question:
Son went to the hospital two days ago for a thorough examination. The doctor confirmed the diagnosis as acute lymphocytic leukemia. How is acute lymphocytic leukemia treated?Doctor's answer:
Acute lymphocytic leukemia is more common in children and requires long-term medication to suppress it, along with regular follow-up tests. The only way to achieve complete remission is through bone marrow transplantation. Other drug chemotherapies cannot guarantee a spontaneous cure, and it is necessary to be mentally prepared, as there is still a possibility of recurrence. The main treatment methods are the two mentioned earlier: bone marrow transplantation and chemotherapy drugs.
