What rescue does child leukaemia have?

summary

According to the statistics of the health department, the number of new cases of childhood leukemia in China is about 16000-20000 every year, and special attention should be paid to diet, which is one of the major diseases endangering the health of children in China. However, due to economic difficulties and the relative lack of diagnosis and treatment technology, only less than 8% of children (about 1200-1500 cases / year) can get regular, reasonable and systematic diagnosis and treatment. So, let's take a look at the rescue measures for childhood leukemia? Let's introduce the related knowledge of the field.

What rescue does child leukaemia have?

First: as we all know, the treatment cycle of leukemia is about three years, and the cost of treatment is as low as 70000 yuan, but as high as several hundred thousand yuan. Due to the long treatment cycle and high cost of treatment, many families are deterred. However, childhood leukemia is an urgent malignant tumor. If it can't get regular treatment within three months after the onset of leukemia, its life will be seriously threatened. Even if some children with leukemia can be treated after the onset, the whole family will be dragged down by the long treatment process and high cost of treatment, so that children can not receive complete formal treatment, and their lives will be seriously threatened again.

Second, after more than 30 years of clinical exploration, great progress has been made in the treatment of childhood leukemia in China. The treatment principles and treatment schemes of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (all) and childhood acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL / m3) are gradually applied in the treatment centers of various provinces and cities in China, Its academic level and clinical skills are gradually in line with foreign advanced treatment centers. At present, the five-year disease-free survival rate (clinical cure rate) of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (all) and acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL / m3), which account for 75-80% of the total number of childhood leukemia, can be increased to more than 80% by the major childhood leukemia diagnosis and treatment centers in China. Therefore, in malignant tumor diseases, these two types of childhood leukemia are called "curable" malignant tumors.

Third: 39 Health charity foundation set up the "love angel" project, the above two types of children with leukemia as a project relief disease. Since its establishment in May 2011, it has successfully funded more than 300 children with leukemia, and signed designated hospital cooperation agreements with six leading hospitals in the field of treatment of children's leukemia in North China, East China, central China and southwest China, including Beijing Children's Hospital, children's Hospital Affiliated to Capital Institute of pediatrics, Shanghai Children's Medical Center, Beijing Children's Hospital, Beijing Children's Hospital, Beijing Children's Hospital Affiliated to Capital Institute of Pediatrics The second West China Hospital of Sichuan University, Wuhan Union Medical College Hospital and the First Affiliated Hospital of the Fourth Military Medical University of the Chinese people's Liberation Army (Xijing Hospital). With the continuous expansion of the scale of the project, the number of children will increase steadily, so that more children with leukemia can get effective medical treatment.

matters needing attention

For childhood leukemia, we should try our best to improve various laboratory tests, scientifically and reasonably divide the risk of initial diagnosis, and give corresponding individualized treatment (chemotherapy), and reasonably adjust the risk group according to the early treatment response, so as to prevent the excessive side effects caused by over treatment of low-risk group and insufficient treatment of medium and high-risk group, So as to reduce the recurrence rate, mortality, improve the quality of life of patients.
