Advanced stages of acute myeloid leukemia M5 may cause painful symptoms.
1. If the leukemia cells have caused invasion of the bones or formed a mass that presses on the organs, they are prone to pain problems. In severe cases, there may be persistent dull pain, requiring the use of opioids such as morphine and methadone for pain relief.
2. For this case, in addition to the use of drugs to reduce pain, but also need to follow the medical advice, through chemotherapy or radiotherapy to relieve the condition, chemotherapy commonly used drugs are zorubicin, mitoxantrone, cytarabine, etoposide and so on. It is also possible to combine the new drugs currently used, such as Vinaclat and so on.
3. The prognosis of advanced AML M5 is poor, which may threaten the patient’s life. If the effect of chemotherapy is unsatisfactory, allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation or autologous hematopoietic stem cell can be used for treatment if conditions permit.
In summary, acute myeloid leukemia M5 is highly malignant and prone to recurrent attacks. For advanced stage patients, they should closely monitor their body dynamics, and when abnormalities occur, timely treatment should be carried out under the guidance of physicians.
