Adulthood Leukemia - Detect Leukemia in Your Kid:
Speaking
of cancer it is human silent killer. It will attack uncontrollably if its
number (cell) multiplies rapidly.
Once
they form massively it gives negative effect on usual operation of the
adjoining tissue. At this point of time there must be action on treating this
problem. If Lymphoma cancer this would not be treated well cancer cell would
pass-through bloodstream reaching some body parts. This is what we call
metastasis which is already very hard to control or to be cured.
We
all have cancer cells scattered all over our body parts and no one spared of
that silent killer. Young and old people can have it especially if our body
immune system got weakens that could lower our resistance. Cancer problem on
young generation are far more different than on older generations. The same
medical procedures in fighting for it but different form when you look at it
under the microscope. The chances are, younger generation responded better than
the older one in terms of treatment.
Childhood
and Adult Patients
Cancer
is common on older people compared to younger people. Most likely mortality
rate is higher on older people against younger ones. If we rate the chances of
survival, 70% for the younger people and 30% for the elders. Sometimes it would
goes up to 90% depends then on different types of cancer.
Reasons
of Having Childhood Cancer
Cancer
is not transmissible unlike AIDS. Disturbance to a cell's genes is one reason
of cancer development.
On
older people, one factor that contributed cancer is unhealthy lifestyle coming
from different vices, carcinogen intake, too much sun exposure and a lot more.
The reason of having childhood cancer is not yet known. There must be some
reasons for this kind of cancer on our young generations but scientist never
discovered yet what the cause is really.
Different
types of Childhood Cancer
Leukemia:
most common type of cancer on younger generation. There are more white blood
cells than normal blood cells. These abnormal cell or leukemia developed
earlier before reaching into maturity.
Different
kinds of Leukemia
•
Acute Lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL): The most common type victimizing usually
children/young people. It would strike on bone morrow - which is our blood
manufacturer. One common treatment is by Chemotherapy -a kind of drug that
kills cancer cells. Another one is by radiotherapy - a high energy wave, like
an x-ray. Survival rate of this kind of medication is greater than 70%.
•
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML): Is less most common on younger generations though
it can also be treated with chemotherapy and stem cell replacement. Chance of
surviving is between 50% and 60%.
•
Brain Tumors and Spinal Cord Tumors: This kind is second most common type of
leukemia on affecting our younger children. In most cases casualty is greater
than surviving from any form of medications because this is very hard to manage
and be cured. It needs surgery as the first line of treatment and it depends on
where the part of the central nervous system brains tumor grown-up. A series of
chemotherapy and radiotherapy sessions could inevitable happen as a sort of
follow-up medications. There are few who would survive depending on the status
of the tumor (stages 1, 2, 3,) and the type of tumor.
