Why Bone Marrow Transplantation for Leukemia
Apr 14, 2022
Hello: Bone marrow transplantation is only one of the methods of treating leukemia, not the only one.
First of all, not all leukemia patients need bone marrow transplantation. The main treatment options for leukemia are as follows: chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and traditional Chinese medicine. Some high-risk patients require bone marrow transplantation. In the past 10 years, with the progress of molecular biology and biogenetics, the prognosis of leukemia has been greatly improved. "Leukemia is an incurable disease" is a thing of the past. Regular and systematic treatment can enable most leukemia patients to survive disease-free for a long time, or even recover.
Since you mentioned bone marrow transplantation, the following is a description of bone marrow transplantation (for reference only)
The so-called bone marrow transplantation is not literally what it is, it is the real bone marrow. In the early days of research and treatment of leukemia, medical scientists found that the human bone marrow is the source of blood production, and the bone marrow contains blood cells! Limited by the conditions at that time, they Usually, the healthy bone marrow is directly extracted, and then transferred to the patient after appropriate treatment. Therefore, this treatment method is called bone marrow transplantation. In the future, this name has been extended.
With the deepening of medical research and the application of advanced medical equipment, medical scientists have discovered hematopoietic stem cells in human bone marrow, and found that not only the bone marrow contains hematopoietic stem cells, but also the blood, but the content is far less than the bone marrow! The method of extracting bone marrow can cause great pain to the donor, so the method of separating hematopoietic cells from the blood has been used, so that the pain for the donor is minimized.
The separated blood will be reintroduced into the donated blood vessel, while the stem cells will be left in another container for transplantation. Of course, the separator is strictly sterilized, so there is no need to worry about the blood being damaged by germs when "travelling" .
In addition, the human bone marrow is capable of producing hematopoietic stem cells, so there is no need to worry about the lost part. Within 10 days, the stem cells in the donor's body will return to their original levels.
Another: Of course, bone marrow transplantation also has its drawbacks: 1. Bone marrow transplantation goes against the natural laws of physiology. 2. Destroy the immunity of life
3. Difficulty in matching.
