The number of chemotherapy treatments for leukemia needs to be judged according to the severity of the disease, and most of them require more than 6 courses of chemotherapy before a bone marrow transplant can be performed, with the exact number of chemotherapy treatments varying from person to person.
Leukemia patients are treated with chemotherapy prior to transplantation to bring the patient into remission before transplantation. This is to ensure that the tumor load is as low as possible, thus ensuring the safety of the transplant as well as its success rate. The deeper the patient’s remission before transplantation, the lower the recurrence rate, so clinically before transplantation, several chemotherapy treatments are given to make the patient reach remission.
The specific number of chemotherapy treatments should be judged according to the condition and varies from person to person. If the condition is mild, 2 chemotherapy treatments may be sufficient for transplantation; if the condition is more severe, the number of chemotherapy treatments will be increased accordingly. Specific drugs include cytarabine, Zoerythromycin and so on.
If you are suffering from leukemia, it is recommended to seek timely medical treatment, under the guidance of the doctor, improve the relevant examination, clarify the severity of the disease, and take appropriate measures to deal with it.
