Treatments
Trang 29Interferon therapy
• Slow the reproduction of leukemia cells
and promote the immune system's
anti-leukemia activity.
Trang 31Stem cell transplantation (SCT)
• Enable treatment with high doses of
chemotherapy and radiation therapy to
kill both leukemia cells and normal blood cell in the bone marrow Inject healthy
bone marrow’s cells into recipient New
blood cells develop and replace leukemia
cells.
Trang 32Surgery
• Remove an enlarged spleen or to install a
venous access device (large plastic tube) to give medications and withdraw blood
samples

Trang 46Passage
• All forms of leukemia are treated with
chemotherapy, using drugs that prevent cell division and selectively injure rapidly dividing cells
Effective treatment can lead to a remission
(disappearance of signs of disease) Relapse occurs
when leukemia cell reappear in the blood and bone
marrow, necessitating further treatment.
• Transplantation of normal bone marrow from closely related donors is successful in restoring normal bone marrow function in some patients with acute
leukemia; this procedure is performed following high – dose chemotherapy given to eliminate the leukemic cells.
Trang 47• Acute leukemia usually develops quickly
People with acute leukemia may feel very
tired, bruise easily, and get infections
often.
Trang 48Chronic
People may not feel sick at first, and the
first sign of illness may be abnormal
results on a routine blood test

• Leukemia that starts in lymphoid cells is
called lymphoid leukemia.
