Blood Cancer Treatment procedure details in India
The fundamental goal of blood cancer treatment is to eliminate or suppress cancer cell formation so that normal blood cells can form. Chemotherapy is used to attain this goal. Chemotherapy is a type of treatment that is administered directly into the veins, similar to intravenous antibiotics. Acute leukaemia treatment is rigorous, with brief but tolerable side effects and the need for blood and platelet transfusions. These treatments are intended to be curative.
If the doctor believes you are not strong enough to pursue curative treatment, he may recommend palliative treatments to improve your quality of life if you are an elderly or frail patient.
Mild chemotherapy, as well as supportive care medications, are used in these regimens.
Stem cell transplantation is a treatment option for blood cancer patients who are at high risk of relapse (disease recurrence) or who have had their disease come back after treatment. This treatment is frequently administered after chemotherapy has been used to suppress the malignancy.
We use very high dose chemotherapy or radiation to eliminate visible and non-visible cancer cells, as well as the blood formation system, in this technique. By infusing blood stem cells (Blood Seeds) taken from a healthy donor or the patient himself, a new blood formation system is established.
Blood, bone marrow, and umbilical cord blood are the most common sources of stem cells.
Radiation therapy is a treatment that is used to kill cancer cells or to alleviate discomfort or agony. This stage could even happen before stem cell transplantation as a therapy option.
