How long can you live with interferon and hydroxyurea for chronic myeloid leukemia

The rate of patients with chronic remission with interferon + small chemotherapy is very high, and most patients are within 1 year**, so transplantation should be considered after remission.

As for taking Gleevec, I believe you also know its **, which is expensive and gives people a headache.

If it is normal to do a blood routine every week, insist on taking medicine, you will not need interferon for the time being, try to avoid radiation and strong electromagnetic waves, and eat more foods that can purify the blood, such as shiitake mushrooms, fungus, etc.

Leukemia is not caused by a virus, can you get interferon, interferon is antiviral, you should go to the doctor to be sure.

Disease analysis: Leukemia is divided into many types, each type of ** method is different, ** time is also different, ** rate is of course very different. In order to determine an instructive plan, the landlord needs to first figure out what kind of leukemia he has, of course, leukemia can be roughly divided into three stages:

The first tier-induced remission, in which the vast majority of leukemia patients need to receive chemotherapy until complete remission is achieved. Patients who cannot be relieved for more than 2 months at this stage are basically hopeless in remission, and only death awaits the patient; Patients who do not undergo bone marrow transplantation enter the second stage - intensification**, and many leukemia patients who have achieved remission, if they do not continue**, the opinion suggests: the condition will be ** again within a period of time without long defeat.

Therefore, except for the leukemia patients who are confirmed to be transplanted for bone marrow, all leukemia patients need to be intensived**, which is usually 4 6 courses of high-dose chemotherapy, which can kill the residual leukemia cells to the greatest extent and reduce the chance.

For patients who have just been diagnosed with chronic granules**, the regimen is generally interferon combined with hydroxyurea and cytarabine, and leukapheresis if necessary, so that the patient can achieve rapid remission. Consider bone marrow transplantation after remission, as patients who achieve remission with interferon usually do not have a long remission period, and the vast majority of patients develop early**.

Another ** option is to take the new drug Gleevec, but the ** drug ** is very expensive, and it is recommended that families with conditions still have a bone marrow transplant.

These two are the best ways to treat chronic myeloid leukemia.

It is best to take Gleevec to maintain it, so that your genes can turn negative.

Hello, chronic myeloid leukemia can live for a long time. Due to individual differences and different methods, there is a great difference in the length of survival after treatment, generally 21 months, and there are only a few cases with long-term survival of more than 7 20 years. About 75% and 85% of the patients in the slow granule changed from the stable phase to the abrupt change stage within 1 5 years, and the prognosis was poor once the rapid change occurred, and more than half of the cases died within 3 to 6 months.

Refer to (cardiac course of acute cancer) as soon as possible**.

There is such an example around me, he is less fortunate than you, he got slow grains at the age of 11, and now he is 23 years old, he started taking hydroxyurea, and after taking it for a long time, he started to take Gleevec, but Gleevec did not work for him, so he switched to the 2nd generation Gleevec, and after a while, he began to prepare for a transplant. Actually, I am basically the same age as you and him, I sympathize with you, like your situation, two years of medical history, it is already an accelerated period when it is basically discovered, Gleevec will ensure that your condition is stable for a long time, most of the time it can be maintained for a few years, it depends on individual differences, Gleevec official ** once had a statement that you can take medicine for 30 years, or take it for life, but this is only a reference value. In fact, for you, you have to prepare for transplantation, although many patients with chronic granules do not choose transplantation after Gleevec is listed, because this drug is indeed very good, but to be honest, you are too young, this is not a long-term solution.

Chronic myeloid leukemia is generally a 3-5 year abrupt change, the best way is to do hematopoietic stem cell transplantation after complete remission, the traditional method is: hydroxyuria or busulfan plus interferon, now if conditions permit, it is Gleevec, however, to take the drug for life, ** in the end is not cheaper than stem cell transplantation, so, if there is a suitable match, it is best to do stem cell transplantation. Stem cell transplantation is the only way to treat chronic myeloid leukemia.

It's hard to say this thing, the average person can live for 10 years without eating, some people will not change rapidly for life, and some people will change rapidly after eating for a few years, once the sudden change is very troublesome, it can only be transplanted, and the success rate is only 20%. It is recommended that before the sudden change, it is better to have the opportunity of transplantation or transplantation, at least the success rate will be much higher. Besides, Gleevec is too expensive, and you will be resistant to drugs after taking it for a long time, and you still have to transplant it if you have a sudden change.

It wasn't good then.

According to my experience, Gleevec generally develops drug resistance in 3 to 4 years, and the rate of transplantation is basically within 5 years, and the rate of transplantation will not exceed 40%, and the rate is very high.

It's all very young people, it's better to get a transplant early.

In the past, there was no Gleevec, so we used hydroxyurea**, and most patients had good disease control; But now Gleevec is expensive, and most patients are still on hydroxyurea** or interferon**;

Hydroxyurea only controls the number of white blood cells, not at all, and a relative of mine who only takes hydroxyurea for six years has changed dramatically. If the economic conditions are better, Gleevec is recommended.

Hydroxyurea cannot change fusion genes and chromosomes, and in the long run, it is better to take Gleevec.

Do you know how long it takes for a good situation to change dramatically and how long it is bad for a bad situation.

Hydroxyurea does not have any effect on the slow granule, but simply controls white blood cells and does not interfere with the disease process, while interferon has the best effect on the slow granule, a small number of patients can achieve genetic remission, which can delay the rapid change, but its *** is relatively large! Since 08 years, Gleevec has been used as a first-line solution for slow granules, with a targeted effect, and it is very small! The 6-year disease progression-free rate has reached 90%, which makes Slow Grain** enter a new stage!

Gleevec is divided into Switzerland and India, and Switzerland can generally buy 3 get 9 free, that is, it costs about 75,000 per year! Generic drugs in India, ** are relatively much cheaper! Less than 20,000 a year...

I am also a chronic granule patient, and I have been relieved by molecular biology, welcome to communicate! My blog.

Slow granules basically don't use interferon and hydroxyurea**, use Gleevec, just buy Indian!

Analysis: Depending on the description you are describing it depends on the individual's situation.

Guidance: Suggestion: Chronic granular residual posture with defeated leukemia with indigotic indigodic indigo has a certain effect!

The doctor asks: I wish you a happy life.

Because the cytogenetic characteristics of patients with chronic myeloid leukemia have not changed, a small number of patients have achieved a short-term complete remission, but there is still no possibility of **, and only 10%-15% survive for more than 1 year.

Hello, don't be discouraged, insist**, slow grain is a leukemia that has been conquered, as long as you take special targeted drugs for a long time**, most patients can work and live like normal people. Flumatinib is a second-generation + TKI, which is a second-generation drug with smaller adverse reactions, which can bring a higher quality of life, and it is very lucky to be used after diagnosis, but I want to tell you that if you reduce the dose and stop the drug without authorization, it is easy to resist the drug, and you must insist on taking the drug.

Good luck soon**!

Don't be discouraged and persevere**.
