Leukemia, cancer that starts in blood-forming tissue such as the bone marrow and causes large numbers of blood cells to be produced and enter the bloodstream.
Preview- One can determine, whether tyrosine kinase inhibitors can delay or prevent the transformation of a chronic leukemia to an acute leukemia remains to be seen. Chronic is a disease or condition that persists or progresses over a long period of time. Transformation is in medicine, the change that a normal cell undergoes as it becomes malignant. Acute, symptoms or signs that begin and worsen quickly; not chronic. Acute leukemia is a rapidly progressing cancer that starts in blood-forming tissue such as the bone marrow, and causes large numbers of white blood cells to be produced and enter the blood stream. Kinase is a type of enzyme (a protein that speeds up chemical reactions in the body) that adds chemicals called phosphates to other molecules, such as sugars or proteins. This may cause other molecules in the cell to become either active or inactive. Kinases are a part of many cell processes. Some cancer treatments target certain kinases that are linked to cancer. Chronic leukemia is a slowly progressing cancer that starts in blood-forming tissues such as the bone marrow, and causes large numbers of white blood cells to be produced and enter the blood stream.
- It`s possible to assume that, there is no way to prevent most forms of leukemia.
- As an example, phase 3 (prophylaxis) uses different chemotherapy drugs to prevent the leukemia from entering the brain and central nervous system. Prophylaxis is an attempt to prevent disease. Nervous system is the organized network of nerve tissue in the body. It includes the central nervous system (the brain and spinal cord), the peripheral nervous system (nerves that extend from the spinal cord to the rest of the body), and other nerve tissue. Central nervous system is the brain and spinal cord. Also called CNS. Chemotherapy, treatment with drugs that kill cancer cells.
