How is childhood leukaemia diagnosed?

summary

Leukemia is a clonal expansion of hematopoietic cells in bone marrow and uncontrolled proliferation, so the patient's diet should be reasonable. Do not overeat, damage the normal hematopoietic system, and the blood is transported to various organs and tissues, causing various symptoms, such as fever, anemia, bleeding and hepatosplenomegaly. How to diagnose childhood leukemia? Let's go.

How is childhood leukaemia diagnosed?

First, the etiology and pathogenesis of leukemia are not fully clear. Studies have shown that the formation of leukemia is caused by multiple attacks. The genetic changes of patients and the influence of external factors, such as virus and radiation, cause damage to bone marrow cells, resulting in an abnormal clone. The cells can not differentiate and mature, but show uncontrolled growth.

Second, we should at least recognize the following three points: 1. Childhood leukemia is not an incurable disease. 2. Not all childhood leukemia need hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. 3. Combined chemotherapy is the most important method for the treatment of childhood leukemia

Third: the latest treatment view is (take acute lymphoblastic leukemia as an example), according to the MICM typing of bone marrow (namely bone marrow cytology, immunotyping, chromosome and fish technology, fusion gene), clinical risk factors (such as age, the number of white blood cells at the time of initial diagnosis, etc.), trace residual leukemia, etc., children's acute lymphoblastic leukemia can be divided into low-risk type, low-risk type, low-risk type, low-risk type, low-risk type, low-risk type, low-risk type, low-risk type, low- Medium risk and high risk. Only a few patients with high-risk leukemia need hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.

matters needing attention

Therefore, children and parents suffering from leukemia must be brave, strong and persistent. As a doctor of children with leukemia, he must keep forging ahead, strive to improve the level of treatment technology, and standardize the management and follow-up of patients, so as to obtain curative effect. Negligence or carelessness in any link can cause irreparable consequences.
