Nosebleeds, pale, weak, once such a plot in the film and television drama, the main character is most likely to have leukemia, the plot also deteriorated. In real life, leukemia is often considered a terminal disease, once suffering from leukemia, it means that the family’s wealth is scattered, it means that it is not safe, it means that there is no cure? So, what is leukemia? Is it treatable? Leukemia is not a terminal disease What is leukemia? Zhao Lidong has the answer. “Leukemia is a disease caused by the abnormal cloning of stem cells, which is commonly known as ‘blood cancer’.” Zhao Lidong said that in the past 10 years, with the progress of molecular biology and biogenetics, the understanding of the etiology of leukemia has become more in-depth, while the discovery of new therapies and new drugs used, so that the prognosis of leukemia has been greatly improved. ”Leukemia is an incurable disease” has become a thing of the past. Regular and systematic treatment can make most leukemia patients survive for a long time without disease, or even be cured. Take the leukemia patients admitted to our department in recent years as an example, the complete remission rate of acute lymphoblastic leukemia is over 90%, and the complete remission rate of acute myeloid leukemia is 70-80%, as long as the regular and systematic treatment can be adhered to. The survival rate of chemotherapy for more than 3 years is more than 50%; the 5-year disease-free survival of acute promyelocytic leukemia M3 is almost 100%, and the survival rate of other types of leukemia is also greatly improved. There are five major signs of early leukemia (1) anemia is often the first symptom of leukemia, mainly manifested as pallor, self-conscious weakness and excessive sweating. Whether in activity or at rest, you feel shortness of breath and rapid heartbeat. The symptoms worsen over time. (2) More than half of the patients have fever as an early manifestation, which can be a low fever of less than 38 degrees or a high fever of 39 degrees or even more than 40 degrees. Most of them have recurrent irregular fever. (3) Painless enlargement of unknown cause (4) Bleeding is an early manifestation of leukemia in nearly 40% of patients. Bleeding can occur in various parts of the body, commonly in unexplained petechiae of the skin, bleeding from the mouth, nasal cavity, gums, and excessive menstruation. Blurred vision often suggests that the patient has fundus bleeding, and severe headache with nausea and vomiting often suggests that the patient has intracranial bleeding. Therefore. You should go to the hospital promptly when the above situation occurs. (5) Headache, hemiplegia, etc. Doctors suggest that patients with anemia, fever from infection, bleeding gums, increased menstrual flow, pain in bones and joints of the limbs, etc. should preferably go to a specialist in a regular hospital to check the blood routine, and if there are abnormalities, further examination and treatment can be carried out.
