What is Leukemia Cancer?
Leukemia is cancer that starts in the tissue that forms
blood. In a person with leukemia, the bone marrow makes
abnormal white blood cells. The abnormal cells are
leukemia cells. Unlike normal blood cells, leukemia cells
don't die when they should. They may crowd out normal
white blood cells, red blood cells, and platelets. This
makes it hard for normal blood cells to do their work.

Diagnosis of Leukemia
• Physical Exam : The Doctor checks for swollen lymph
nodes, spleen, or liver.
• Blood Tests : The lab does a complete blood count to
check the number of white blood cells, red blood cells, and
platelets. Leukemia causes a very high level of white blood
cells. It may also cause low levels of platelets and hemoglobin, which is found
inside red blood cells.
• Biopsy : The Doctor removes tissue to look for cancer cells. A biopsy is the only
sure way to know whether leukemia has infected other organs. Before the sample
is taken, local anesthesia is used to numb the area.

• Bone Marrow Aspiration : The Doctor uses a thick, hollow needle to remove
samples of bone marrow.
• Bone Marrow Biopsy : The Doctor uses a very thick, hollow needle to remove
a small piece of bone and bone marrow.

• Cytogenetics : The Lab looks at the chromosomes of cells from samplesof
blood, bone marrow, or lymph nodes. If abnormal chromosomes are found, the
test can show what type of leukemia you have.

• Spinal Tap : Your Doctor may remove some of the cerebrospinal fluid (the fluid
that fills the spaces in and around the brain and spinal cord). The doctor uses a
long, thin needle to remove fluid from the lower spine. The lab checks the fluid for
leukemia cells or other signs of problems.
• Chest X-Ray : An X-Ray can show swollen lymph nodes or other signs of
disease in your chest.

Treatment of Leukemia at Top Cancer Hospitals in India
Chemotherapy : Chemotherapy may be given as pills or
by injection. Chemotherapy drugs interfere with the ability
of cancer cells to grow and spread, but they also damage
healthy cells. Although healthy cells can recover over time,
you may experience side effects from your treatment like
nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, fatigue, hair loss and an
increased risk of infection.
Radiation therapy : It uses high doses of radiation, such as X-rays, to destroy
cancer cells. Radiation is usually given from a machine outside the body that
directs radiation to the cancer (external radiation). Radiation is also used to treat
acute leukemia that has spread to the brain and spinal cord.

Stem Cell Transplant : Some people with leukemia receive a stem cell
transplant. A stem cell transplant allows you to be treated with high doses of
drugs, radiation, or both. The high doses destroy both leukemia cells and normal
blood cells in the bone marrow. Before high-dose chemotherapy is given, stem
cells will be taken from you or from a donor whose bone marrow is a close match
to your own. Soon after the chemotherapy treatment, the stem cells are put back
into your blood. Within a few weeks, the new stem cells will start to make blood
cells.

Biological Therapy : Biological therapy uses your immune system to fight
cancer or to help control side effects of other cancer treatments. Natural body
substances or drugs made from natural body substances are used to boost the
body’s own defences against illness.
Targeted Therapy : Targeted therapies use drugs that attack specific types of
cancer cells without damaging healthy cells. Cancer growth inhibitors are a type of
targeted therapy.
