Acute myeloid leukemia in children can usually be cured, but it also depends on the specific type, and prompt medical attention is recommended.
Acute myeloid leukemia usually has a rapid onset and may include fever, anemia, and bleeding. The main treatment for leukemia is chemotherapy, which usually requires three stages: induction therapy, consolidation therapy and prevention of extramedullary leukemia, with common treatment regimens such as DA regimen, Zoerythromycin and Cytarabine.
The induction and remission treatment stage is the key to determine whether children can survive disease-free for a long period of time. After treatment, most of them can be cured, and their 5-year disease-free survival rate can reach 70%~85%. In addition to this, hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, molecular targeted therapy and other methods are also available.
It is recommended to actively seek medical advice and follow the doctor’s instructions for medication and treatment.
