This
diagram shows a 47 year old woman was containing leukemia throughout majority
of her bone marrow. Leukemia is a form of cancer where the bone marrow of one,
and other blood forming materials (red blood cells, plasma, white blood cells,
and platelets) generate an increasing amount of abnormal leucytes (circulates
the blood and body fluids). As seen, the cancer has spread throughout the
woman's body and has overcome what used to be their bone marrow. The scan on
the left displays the majority of leukemia that has overcome the woman's bone
marrow. The scan on the right shows the after math of the usage of
chemotherapy. Chemotherapy treatment can make a difference in one’s body just
like it did to the 47 year old woman.
Chemotherapy
is one of the most useful types of treatment for treating leukemia.
Oncologist's make patients ingest a drug to help treat leukemia by inserting it
through the mouth, through a catheter, by injection through a vein, cerebrospinal
fluid, or into the spine.
