Q. What are the best treatments for blood cancer?
Doctor Answer is medically reviewed by SecondMedic medical review team.
The best treatments for blood cancer can depend on the type of blood cancer being treated as well as an individual patient’s preference. Generally, there are three categories of treatments that are commonly used to treat different types of blood cancers: chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and stem cell transplantation.
Chemotherapy is a common treatment method for many types of cancers including leukemia and lymphoma. It uses chemical drugs to kill cancerous cells in the body while also helping to stop the growth or spread of quickly-multiplying cells. Chemotherapy may be administered orally or through injections and can be given alone or with other treatments like radiation therapy depending on the individual diagnosis.
Radiation therapy is another form of specialized treatment that uses beams from high-energy sources such as X-rays and protons to target fast-growing abnormal tissue found in certain areas affected by cancer cells which helps prevent further damage caused by them spreading. Radiation therapy does not completely cure the disease but rather slows down its progression so it can be managed more effectively over time alongside other treatments like chemotherapy or immunotherapies where available.
Lastly, stem cell transplants are a type of treatment usually reserved for later stages when traditional therapies have failed or become ineffective due largely in part to its invasive nature and associated health risks—namely infections stemming from weakened immune systems after undergoing this process if done improperly without proper hygiene protocols being followed first before any procedure takes place. This form involves taking healthy stem cells (cells taken from bone marrow) derived either from another person’s body (a donor) or even your own if recent enough donations were made beforehand then reinserting them into your body via intravenous injection post medical preparation allowing these healthy new tissues replace those damaged by blood cancer effectively fighting off any existing infected tissues while replenishing lost resources/functions related therein afterwards ultimately restoring these functionality levels back to normal once again so long as everything goes according to plan throughout each step along every phase thereafter transitioning you closer towards full recovery eventually sealing it all off with complete success at completion's end; else you might lose too much ground giving way back whence towards whence started one hopes not their desired conclusion(s).
