Question
Can leukemia be treated? What are the effective treatment methods? Please provide professional advice from doctors.
Answer
The treatment methods for leukemia mainly include chemotherapy, radiation therapy, standard treatment, and traditional Chinese medicine. For some high-risk patients, bone marrow transplantation may be necessary. In recent years, with the development of molecular biology and biogenetics, there has been a deeper understanding of the etiology and pathogenesis of leukemia, and new treatment drugs and applications of traditional Chinese medicine have emerged, all of which have greatly improved the efficacy of leukemia treatment. Nowadays, leukemia is no longer an incurable disease. With regular and systematic treatment, most patients can achieve long-term disease-free survival, even have a chance to recover. Although the possibility of complete cure for leukemia is relatively low, treatment can effectively control the condition.
