Grant's Cancer Survival Story: Beating Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia administrator 5 Views • 2 years ago

In the spring of 2009, Grant McTaggart began his fight against Philadelphia Chromosome Positive Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia, a condition in which less than 50% of those inflicted survive. Following diagnosis, Grant began an arduous 32 months of grueling chemotherapy treatment at Texas Children's Cancer Center. With ****istance of multiple therapies and the clinical trial of a drug, Gleevec®, he gradually recovered. His last round of chemotherapy was August of 2012. Thanks to Texas Children's Cancer Center, Grant is now living the life of a healthy six-year-old kindergartener.He loves baseball and spending time with his best friend and resilient big sister, Claire.

Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia - Causes, Symptoms, Treatments & More… administrator 3 Views • 2 years ago

Leukemia is cancer of the white blood cells. White blood cells help your body fight infection. Your blood cells form in your bone marrow. In leukemia, however, the bone marrow produces abnormal white blood cells. These cells crowd out the healthy blood cells, making it hard for blood to do its work. In acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL), also called acute lymphoblastic leukemia, there are too many of specific types of white blood cells called lymphocytes or lymphoblasts. ALL is the most common type of cancer in children.
Possible risk factors for ALL include being male, being white, previous chemotherapy treatment, exposure to radiation, and for adults, being older than 70.
Symptoms of ALL include:
• Weakness or feeling tired
• Fever
• Easy bruising or bleeding
• Bleeding under the skin
• Shortness of breath
• Weight loss or loss of appe****e
• Pain in the bones or stomach
• Pain or a feeling of fullness below the ribs
• Painless lumps in the neck, underarm, stomach, or groin
Tests that examine the blood and bone marrow diagnose ALL. Treatments include chemotherapy, radiation therapy, stem cell transplants, and targeted therapy. Targeted therapy uses substances that attack cancer cells without harming normal cells. Once the leukemia is in remission, you need additional treatment to make sure that it does not come back.

What are the Treatments for Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia (ALL)? administrator 1 Views • 2 years ago

What are the treatments for acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL)?

Treatments for ALL include:

- Chemotherapy
- Radiation therapy
- Chemotherapy with stem cell transplant
- Targeted therapy, which uses drugs or other substances that attack specific cancer cells with less harm to normal cells

Treatment is usually done in two phases:

- The goal of the first phase is to kill the leukemia cells in the blood and bone marrow. This treatment puts the leukemia into remission. Remission means that the signs and symptoms of cancer are reduced or have disappeared.
- The second phase is known as post-remission therapy. Its goal is to prevent a relapse (return) of the cancer. It involves killing any remaining leukemia cells that may not be active but could begin to regrow.

Treatment during both phases also usually includes central nervous system (CNS) prophylaxis therapy. This therapy helps prevent the spread of leukemia cells to the brain and spinal cord. It may be high dose chemotherapy or chemotherapy injected into the spinal cord. It also sometimes includes radiation therapy.

Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia: The First 30 Days administrator 4 Views • 2 years ago

Leukemia is a type of blood cancer that affects the body's white blood cells. Of all the different kinds of leukemia that children get, acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most common type. For this childhood cancer, the first phase of treatment is called the induction phase. Treatment during this phase is designed to kill the leukemic cells in the blood and the bone marrow, putting the disease into remission.

In this video, POGO Interlink Nurse Tina Hamalainen illustrates what is involved in an ALL diagnosis—medically, emotionally and logistically—by sharing one family’s experience.

Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is a rare and rapidly progressing cancer of the blood and bone marrow – the spongy tissue inside bones where blood cells are made.

Most adult ALL patients relapse, and the median overall survival rate for those who do is three to five months. In 2015, an estimated 650 patients were diagnosed with Philadelphia chromosome-negative (Ph-) relapsed or refractory B-cell precursor ALL in the United States.
