Leukemia, a “severe disease” that often appears in video-visual works, has left many people in fear. However, with the development of medicine, leukemia is no longer a total problem. Now, Chief, you’ve got to get to know about leukemia and what you have to know.
I. What is leukemia?
Leukemia, commonly known as “blood cancer”, is a type of malignant cloning of blood stem cells. Under normal circumstances, our stem blood cells are slowly divided into blood cells, which can be found in persons with leukemia, which are “rebelized” — they breed wildly, inhibiting normal blood production and leading to a series of symptoms such as anaemia, haemorrhaging and infection. It is not a single disease, but is classified as acute and chronic, and can be further broken down by cell type, like a large and complex “demon family”.
What are the symptoms of the “demon” attack?
Leukemia tends to show some “foots”. There is also frequent haemorrhages, such as haemorrhage of teeth, nose bleeding, and even bruises when the skin is touched lightly, but don’t be mean.
III. Which “bad guys” are induced?
The causes of leukaemia have not yet been fully identified, but some “suspects” have been targeted. Long-term exposure to ionizing radiation, such as frequent X-rays and living near high-voltage electric towers; chemical benzene and its derivatives, formaldehyde in newly renovated houses, which may contain certain poor-quality hair dyes and nail oils, may be similar to the time bombs placed around them; in addition, genetic factors may play a role in this, and other members of the family may be at increased risk if they have leukaemia in their families.
How does the diagnostic “detector” act?
When leukaemia is suspected, the doctor conducts a full investigation like a detective. Regular blood testing is the first step to see if there are any abnormalities in blood cell numbers and forms. If an anomaly is detected, the bone marrow piercing examination will take place, which is described as a “gold standard” for the diagnosis of leukaemia. A small sample was taken from the bone marrow, carefully observed under a microscope to see the “real face” of the leukaemia cells, to determine their type and characteristics and to provide a basis for subsequent precision strikes.
What are the “demons” of “desirment”?
Chemotherapy is the “primary force” for leukemia treatment, which discourages the growth and reproduction of leukemia cells by using various chemotherapy drugs, such as sugar cucumbers and juicin. But chemotherapy is like a double-edged sword, and while killing cancer cells, it can also damage normal cells, with side effects such as nausea, vomiting and hair loss. For some high-risk or re-emerging leukaemia patients, blood stem cell transplants are “end-of-the-art” weapons, like re-infusion of a “health force” into the body, which allows for the re-establishment of blood-making functions, but also discourages many patients from having difficult combinations, high risks and high costs.
VI. Where does rehabilitation go?
Treatment for leukaemia is not once and for all, and the period of rehabilitation is equally crucial. Patients are subject to regular medical review to monitor indicators such as blood protocol, bone marrow, etc. in order to detect signs of recurrence in a timely manner. Maintain a good lifestyle, balanced diet, adequate exercise and increased immunity. Psychological adjustment cannot be ignored, and positive optimism is like a “cancer-resistant drug” that can help patients better overcome the disease.
Leukemia, though terrible, is not invincible. Every patient is a warrior against the disease, and the more we know about leukemia, the more we can take the initiative in this fight. Let us arm ourselves with scientific knowledge to fight leukemia with firm conviction and positive action.
