Chronic leukemia survival period is different, the length of each, if the disease progresses quickly, it will be life-threatening within a few months, if active treatment results in good results, it can be long-term survival.
Chronic leukemia is divided into chronic granulocytic leukemia and chronic lymphocytic leukemia.
1. Most of the chronic granulocytic leukemia develops slowly and can be controlled by immunotherapy, chemotherapy and other comprehensive treatments, and the survival time is close to normal or the same as normal. A small number of patients with more rapid progression or underlying medical conditions may have a life-threatening condition within a few months. Drugs include imatinib, dasatinib and so on.
2. Some of the chronic lymphocytic leukemia develops slowly without clinical symptoms, which can be left untreated without affecting the life expectancy, and the survival time is no different from that of normal people. Some of them progress rapidly in a short period of time, and even develop serious infection, anemia and bleeding, which threaten life and die in a few months.
Diagnosed with chronic leukemia, should promptly follow the doctor’s instructions for treatment, as soon as possible, according to the individual situation and the degree of the disease, choose the right treatment to control the disease, to avoid leading to adverse consequences.
