Leukemia (Blood Cancer) Treatment at World Best
Cancer Hospitals in India
Leukemia(Blood Cancer ) is a cancer of the bone
marrow and blood and is the most common type of
childhood cancer. The bone marrow is the soft,
spongy center of the bones and produces the three
types of blood cells white blood cells that
fight infection, red blood cells that carry
oxygen and platelets that help with blood
clotting and bleeding . Leukemia(Blood Cancer )
begin in the bone marrow from where blood is
produced. An uncontrolled growth of an abnormal
type of blood cell interrupts the development
process of a normal blood cell. The cancerous
cells or abnormal blood cells prevent the blood
from performing functions such as preventing
serious bleeding or fighting off with infections.

Types of Blood Cancer

• Myeloma Plasma cells are targeted by this type
  of blood cancer. Infection and disease fighting
  antibodies in the body are produced by plasma
  cells that are basically white blood cells.
• Leukemia This type of blood cancer is due to
  rapid production of abnormal white blood cells.
  Leukemia can be found in bone marrow and in
  blood. These abnormal cells are no more able to
  fight off infection and also impair the bone
  marrows ability to produce platelets and red
  blood cells.
• Lymphoma Lymphatic system that produces immune
  cells and also removes excess fluids from the
  body gets affected by lymphoma blood cancer.
  Lymphocytes are considered as a type of white
  blood cell that helps in fighting off infection

Diagnosis of Leukemia (Blood Cancer)

• Blood Test The number of some specific blood
  cells is determined by performing a blood test.
• Spinal Tap Certain amount of clear fluid is
  taken that surrounds the spinal cord and brain.
• Chest X-ray This x-ray helps in determining the
  presence of swollen lymph nodes, bone damage or
  tumors growing in the bone marrow.

• Physical Exam Swollen lymph nodes can be
  determined with the help of this test. Growth of
  tumors in the bone marrow or damage to the bone
  can also be determined with the help of a
  physical examination
• biopsy The presence of cancer cells is
  determined by taking a sample of a bone marrow
  while performing a biopsy.
• Cytogenetics The change in the genetic material
  is determined by this test. Urine Test The
  change in the genetic material is determined by
  this test.

Leukemia(Blood Cancer) Treatment Options
Available at Best Hospital in India
Leukemia is not a single disease. Instead, the
term leukemia refers to a number of related
cancers that start in the blood-forming cells of
the bone marrow. There are both acute and chronic
forms of leukemia, each with many subtypes that
vary in their response to treatment. In addition,
children with leukemia have special needs that
are best met by care in pediatric cancer centers.

• In general, there are five major approaches to
  the treatment of leukemia
• Chemotherapy to kill leukemia cells using strong
  anti-cancer drugs
• Interferon therapy to slow the reproduction of
  leukemia cells and promote the immune system's
  anti-leukemia activity
• Radiation therapy to kill cancer cells by
  exposure to high-energy radiation
• Stem cell transplantation (SCT) to enable
  treatment with high doses of chemotherapy and
  radiation therapy and
• Surgery to remove an enlarged spleen or to
  install a venous access device (large plastic
  tube) to give medications and withdraw blood
  samples.

Stem cell transplantation Younger patients that
are at high risk for dying from CLL might
consider hematopoietic stem cell transplantation
(HSCT). Autologous stem cell transplantation, a
lower-risk form of treatment using the patient's
own blood cells, is not curative. Myeloablative
(bone marrow killing) forms of allogeneic stem
cell transplantation, a high-risk treatment using
blood cells from a healthy donor, may be curative
for some patients, but most patients cannot
tolerate the treatment.
Biological Therapy Biological therapy, also
referred to as immunotherapy, involves the
treatment with those substances that affect the
ability of an immune system to kill cancer cells.
Monoclonal antibodies and interferon are the two
types of biological therapy. The purpose of
monoclonal antibodies is to stick to cancer cells
in order to draw the attention of the immune
system to these cancer cells.
Radiotherapy Radiotherapy, also known as
radiation therapy, makes use of energy rays such
as X-rays for stopping the growth and
multiplication of the cancer cells. This energy
is directed at any particular part of the body
such as the spleen or also to the entire body.
