Leukemia Treatment

Leukemia treatment typically involves a combination of therapies aimed at killing cancerous blood cells and promoting healthy ones. Common approaches include chemotherapy, which uses powerful drugs to target and destroy cancer cells; radiation therapy, which uses high-energy waves to eliminate cancer; and targeted therapy, which focuses specifically on cancerous cells with less impact on normal cells. Some patients may also undergo stem cell transplants to rebuild healthy blood cells. The specific treatment plan depends on the type of leukemia, the patient's health, and other individual factors, often requiring a team of specialists to provide comprehensive care.
