Leukemia is a type of cancer that affects humans and usually begins to form in white blood cells, tissues responsible for the production of blood cells, and the lymphatic system. Where the disease causes the production of very large amounts of white blood cells, which do not work to eliminate infection and pollution that may affect the body, but remain in a state of division, so the leukemia is known as leukemia because of the nature we mentioned, and show symptoms of leukemia or leukemia on The patient is at an early stage, and these symptoms vary according to each case because of the different types of cancer that may affect the blood, which we will mention later, but there are some common symptoms that appear on most patients with leukemia include:
- Feeling tired and tired.
- The incidence of high fever and fever without apparent cause.
- The weakness of the immune system, which is accompanied by repeated viral infections.
- Sharp drop in weight.
- Loss of appetite.
- Swollen lymph nodes and cases of liver or spleen enlargement.
- Hyperhidrosis especially during the night.
- Osteoporosis and bruising or red spots on the skin.
The severity of these symptoms varies according to the type of cancer we mentioned, as well as the proportion of infected cells in the body.
As for the treatment of leukemia, it varies from one case to another, but it aims primarily to eliminate the cancer cells in the first place, and then allow the natural cells to form in the bone marrow, and decisions of medical treatment on the type and stage of development of the disease in the body, and the effects caused by the disease On the health situation in general. Cancer is different from other cancers because it does not consist of a cohesive tissue in a specific area of the body that can be surgically removed. Treatment is therefore one of the most complex treatments, but in many cases it produces very good results, especially if detected in the early stages.
Chemotherapy is one of the most widely used treatments in acute cancer cases. It is used in three stages. The first stage is the killing of cancer cells and replacing them with new healthy cells. The second stage is the stage in which blood tests are free of cancer. The probability of having very few ratios does not appear in the analysis, and treatment at this stage is the same treatment for the first stage mostly but with different dates of doses, and the third stage is not passed by most patients except in cases of the possibility of recurrence of the disease again, Drugs for a relatively longer period to prevent re-emergence of the disease.
