WHAT IS LEUKEMIA?
Leukemia is a name for cancer of the white blood cells and each day in Australia six people develop one of these white blood cell tumors. In the 1960s the diagnosis of Leukemia was considered a death sentence. Today most - victims can expect curative treatment as a matter of course.
Leukemia is known to occur when people are exposed to radioactivity or carcinogenic chemicals such as drugs used in the treatment of cancer. Those working in occupational health will know that Benzene contributes to the development of leukemia and recently a relative оf the AIDS virus (the HTLVI virus) has been related to the incidence of leukemia in tribes of Australian Aborigines.
The high ground of leukemia therapy has been captured by specialists known as hematologists and oncologists. Treatment invariably involves regimes of esoteric anti cancer drugs and in many cases bone marrow transplantation. The complications of leukemia can be spectacular and dangerous. There is little place other than specialist hematology and oncology units for the provision of immediate treatment and care.
