How long can hair cell leukemia live?
First: in the past 30 years, the survival rate has doubled, but the absolute value is still quite low. The survival rate was 22% in 1970 and 43% in the 1990s. Some types of leukemia, due to the discovery of innovative treatment, have a higher survival rate. For example, since the 1970s, all trans retinoic acid or arsenic trioxide (arsenic) has been widely used in China to treat acute promyelocytic leukemia, and great achievements have been made. This innovative treatment has also been unanimously affirmed by hematologists all over the world and has become a standard treatment. It not only greatly improves the cure rate of this type of leukemia, but also greatly reduces the complications caused by bleeding, so that more than 80% of patients can be rescued. Imatinib (trade name: Glivec or Gleevec), a target therapy for bcr-abl gene, can effectively control the condition of chronic myeloid leukemia and achieve complete remission.
Second: combination chemotherapy: combination chemotherapy can be used in patients with rapid progress, and the regimen composed of drugs that are relatively sensitive to lymphocyte line can be selected. Some people used intensive therapy to treat the disease. Daunorubicin 450mg / m2 was given intravenously on the first day; Cytarabine 200mg / m2, continuous intravenous drip, 1-5 days; Cyclophosphamide 200mg / m2, intravenous drip, the fifth day. Although intensive therapy can make patients get long-term remission, but the treatment-related mortality is higher, so the risk is greater. We should strictly grasp the indications, weigh the advantages and disadvantages, and choose to use.
Third: methotrexate: it has been reported that methotrexate has a good effect in the treatment of patients with recurrence after splenectomy. Methotrexate 2G / m2 was given intravenously within 1 hour, and then calcium formyltetrahydrofolate was used for rescue. The dosage was 25mg / m2, q6h, more than 8 times. The interval of chemotherapy is 4-6 weeks, usually more than 6 courses.
