What is Leukemia Cancer?
Leukemia is cancer that starts in the
tissue that forms blood. In a person
with leukemia, the bone marrow makes
abnormal white blood cells. The abnormal cells
are leukemia cells. Unlike normal
blood cells, leukemia cells don't die
when they should. They may crowd out normal
white blood cells, red blood cells, and
platelets. This makes it hard for
normal blood cells to do their work.

  • Diagnosis of Leukemia
  • Physical Exam The Doctor checks for swollen
    lymph
  • nodes, spleen, or liver.
  • Blood Tests The lab does a complete blood
    count to
  • check the number of white blood cells, red blood
    cells, and
  • platelets. Leukemia causes a very high level of
    white blood
  • cells. It may also cause low levels of platelets
    and hemoglobin, which is found inside red blood
    cells.
  • Biopsy  The Doctor removes tissue to look for
    cancer cells. A biopsy is the only sure way to
    know whether leukemia has infected other organs.
    Before the sample is taken, local anesthesia is
    used to numb the area.
  • Bone Marrow Aspiration  The Doctor uses a
    thick, hollow needle to remove samples of bone
    marrow.
  • Bone Marrow Biopsy  The Doctor uses a very
    thick, hollow needle to remove a small piece of
    bone and bone marrow.
  • Cytogenetics  The Lab looks at the chromosomes
    of cells from samplesof blood, bone marrow, or
    lymph nodes. If abnormal chromosomes are found,
    the test can show what type of leukemia you have.

  • Spinal Tap  Your Doctor may remove some of the
    cerebrospinal fluid (the fluid that fills the
    spaces in and around the brain and spinal cord).
    The doctor uses a long, thin needle to remove
    fluid from the lower spine. The lab checks the
    fluid for leukemia cells or other signs of
    problems.
  • Chest X-Ray  An X-Ray can show swollen lymph
    nodes or other signs of disease in your chest.

Treatment of Leukemia at Top Cancer Hospitals in
India
  • Chemotherapy   Chemotherapy may be
    given as pills or by injection.
    Chemotherapy drugs interfere with the ability
    of cancer cells to grow and spread, but
    they also damage healthy cells.
    Although healthy cells can recover over time,
    you may experience side effects from your
    treatment like nausea, vomiting, loss
    of appetite, fatigue, hair loss and an
    increased risk of infection.
  • Radiation therapy   It uses high doses of
    radiation, such as X-rays, to destroy cancer
    cells. Radiation is usually given from a machine
    outside the body that directs radiation to the
    cancer (external radiation). Radiation is also
    used to treat acute leukemia that has spread to
    the brain and spinal cord.
  • Stem Cell Transplant Some people with leukemia
    receive a stem cell transplant. A stem cell
    transplant allows you to be treated with high
    doses of drugs, radiation, or both. The high
    doses destroy both leukemia cells and normal
    blood cells in the bone marrow. Before high-dose
    chemotherapy is given, stem cells will be taken
    from you or from a donor whose bone marrow is a
    close match to your own. Soon after the
    chemotherapy treatment, the stem cells are put
    back into your blood. Within a few weeks, the new
    stem cells will start to make blood cells.

Biological Therapy  Biological therapy uses your
immune system to fight cancer or to help control
side effects of other cancer treatments. Natural
body substances or drugs made from natural body
substances are used to boost the bodys own
defences against illness. Targeted Therapy
 Targeted therapies use drugs that attack
specific types of cancer cells without damaging
healthy cells. Cancer growth inhibitors are a
type of targeted therapy.
