Leukemia

 Leukemia

Hello everyone, how are you. Today I will discuss about leukemia. Blood cancer is not a specific disease. Several types of blood diseases are collectively known as leukemia. Such blood diseases include leukemia, aplastic anemia, myelodysplastic plastic syndrome, lymphoma, myeloma, etc. Leukemia: This is the most common cancer of the blood. There are several different types of leukemia. These are: acute lymphoblastic leukemia, acute myeloid leukemia, chronic lymphoblastic leukemia, chronic myeloid leukemia. The common name of all of them is leukemia. This cancer starts in the bone marrow. This causes abnormal white blood cells in the bone marrow. More is produced in numbers. These do not work like normal healthy white blood cells. They tend to grow faster. At one stage this growth is supposed to stop but it does not stop. These cells prevent the formation of other blood cells in the bone marrow. Treatment depends on the type of leukemia and the stage of the disease. Chemotherapy is usually applied. It destroys harmful cancer cells. Many times radiation therapy is given along with chemotherapy. Bone marrow transplants or bone marrow transplant surgery are more likely to cure.

Aplastic anemia: In a healthy bone marrow, red blood cells, white blood cells and nuclei are formed at the same time. This is an ongoing process. In aplastic anemia, these bone marrow are replaced by fat cells. The disease is too much, it is not. When that happens, the bone marrow can no longer make enough blood cells. In this case, the number of all types of blood cells is reduced. The exact cause of this disease is not yet known. However, the disease can affect anyone at any age. Treatment has two parts. One is called supportive therapy. In this, the symptoms that appear in the body due to the disease are treated. Regular blood transfusion is required from outside. Antibiotics and antifungal drugs have to be applied for a long time to prevent infection. The other treatment is Definitive Treatment. It lowers the body's resistance to disease or undergoes bone marrow transplant surgery. Myelodysplastic Syndrome: It is also a bone marrow problem. Here, too, there may not be enough blood cells to form, such as aplastic anemia. Again some particles are formed which are not healthy. They can't even do their own thing. Many times the number of blood cells also increases rapidly. This disease is relatively less. In most cases, the disease later develops into leukemia. There is no specific treatment for this disease. Symptomatic treatment is usually given. Stem cell transplant surgery is performed in developed countries. Lymphoma: There is another vascular system in the body like blood vessels, which is known as lymphatic system or lymphatic system. This system works to prevent diseases and infections in the body. Lymphoma is when an extra number of lymphocytes are made in the body. The lymphocyte itself is a type of blood cell. These stay in the blood for extra time and affect the immune system. Lymphoma can occur in any part of the body. Usually lymph nodes, blood, bone marrow are more. The two main types of lymphoma are non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and Hodgkin's lymphoma. Treatment depends on the type and stage of the disease. Chemotherapy, radiotherapy may be given. Many times good results are obtained through bone marrow transplant surgery. Myeloma: Another name is multiple myeloma. In this cancer, blood plasma cells are damaged. Plasma cells are in the blood. Its main function is to help the body fight disease by making antibodies in the blood. Myeloma produces extra plasma cells, which are not healthy. These cannot work to prevent disease. They are made in such large numbers that they take the place of other particles in the blood. Because of this the bone marrow or bone marrow is permanently damaged. Treatment is based on symptoms. In addition, some drugs are used to prevent the formation of extra plasma cells. In addition, chemotherapy is also given.
