This treatment uses various medications during
chemotherapy followed by antilogous stem cells. Multiple myeloma emedicine the
complete treatment is called a stem cell transplant in tandem (two in
succession.) So years ago, the only treatment for multiple myeloma is the drug
that directly targeting cancer cells (and also many target cells and good)
multiple myeloma emedicine, the number of drugs used in treating each target
ability of cancer cells to reproduce and encourage normal cells fight against
the disease of the body to eliminate them.
This treatment uses thalidomide as the main fight
against cancer, an oral medication multiple myeloma emedicine, plus a cocktail
of chemotherapy drugs including boredom, cyclophosphamide, etoposide, isolating,
door, and hearthstone. A variety of other drugs, such as antibiotics, multiple
myeloma emedicine to help the impaired immune system of the body, the
anti-nausea drugs and painkillers (steroids) are used concomitantly.
Multiple myeloma emedicine with the old treatments
targeted tumor cells directly, the ' life expectancy of patients with multiple
myeloma were of the order of 2-4 years after diagnosis. Because these drugs
affected many cells of the body as well as good tumor cells multiple myeloma
emedicine, the body of the patients had great success every time the drug was
administered. A high of the same drug (or similar) dose is part of the process
of stem cell transplant multiple myeloma emedicine. After administration of the
drug at high doses, a CIBC author was close to zero. Fortunately, the stem
cells followed immediately by the administration of high doses, so that his
body was able to recover from the high through the creation of new stem cells
and new blood cells good dose.
New treatments such as the use of drugs Arkansas
treatment that target tumor cells indirectly multiple myeloma emedicine. They
are trying to turn the switch to ON indicate that the cancer cells to reproduce
indefinitely. Multiple myeloma emedicine they are trying to block the flow of
blood that allows cancer cells to grow. They are trying to block the signals
from the cancer cells to normal combat organization that says, in effect cell
disease: "I am a normal cell - not to mention me." They are trying to
promote the fight against the disease of the body's cells to go after cancer
cells and do their work - multiple myeloma emedicine. IE eliminate unwanted
cells in the body obviously, this is the explanation of secular tasks required
in the treatment regimen of the drug, but you get the idea.
Because these drugs should not directly kill cancer
cells multiple myeloma emedicine, they are much less damaging to healthy cells
in the body. This does not mean that they are harmless to normal cells of the
body. They are still very potent chemicals that should not be used with
lightness. But they all seem to work and carry out the tasks required of them
multiple myeloma emedicine. The ' life expectancy of patients who receive
treatment are listed Arkansas for ten years or more, and climbing.
The main side effects occur with this treatment
regimen multiple myeloma emedicine, but they seem to be worth the
disadvantages. In the case of the author, the two main side effects are the
deterioration of the heart muscle, and peripheral neuropathy. The effectiveness
of the author's heart has deteriorated enough in the treatment he was prevented
from receiving the second stem cell transplant multiple myeloma emedicine.
After reading a lot of information on the Internet before and during treatment,
he missed the possibility that chemotherapy drugs can affect the heart muscle.
The efficiency of the left ventricle increased from the normal 50 % while
values WWE 26%. At this low level, was treated for congestive heart failure.
The cardiologist said, however, that in many cases, the heart can recover
levels induced by chemotherapy so. This actually happened in the case of the
author multiple myeloma emedicine. The effectiveness of his heart rose again to
levels close to normal.
After the effectiveness of heart problems were
diagnosed multiple myeloma emedicine, the author has researched and found
several articles that actually warn that some chemotherapy drugs used in this
regime can affect the heart muscle. One of the drugs, in particular, has been
indicated as likely to cause heart problems multiple myeloma emedicine. When he
asked one of the nurses that chemo drugs that can interfere with the heart, she
said, Oh, probably all do it.
Peripheral neuropathy is a big hassle, but it does not
seem to be a potentially fatal problem multiple myeloma emedicine. The fingers
of the hands and feet of the author, any Tingle and feel a bit ' numb most of
the time. Cancer drugs as well as drugs for the treatment of cancer appeared to
cause these problems. After the main cancer drugs have been arrested, tingling
and numbness down a bit ', but not completely. There were days after chemo,
when the hands of the author are bad - especially when holding or touching cold
objects multiple myeloma emedicine. Today, are witty but this feeling can be
ignored most of the time.
Multiple myeloma emedicine the body of the author is
currently "cancer cells as clean as possible," according to her
oncologist. The doctor also commented on this visit that many do not appreciate
the gravity of this statement. "A few years ago, half of the people who
contracted multiple myeloma died within 3 years after diagnosis." These
figures are considerably extended today because of chemotherapy regimens as
treatment Arkansas multiple myeloma emedicine.
Dennis Dinger is a survivor of multiple myeloma.
Diagnosed in June 2008, received five cycles of treatment Arkansas, four of
chemotherapy, and the fifth- the high dose and transplantation of tautologies’
stem cells, His book. My battle against multiple myeloma, said his fight -
including the ' year prior to the diagnosis multiple myeloma emedicine,
treatment and recovery as a result of all treatments. In 2010, the cancer is in
complete remission.
