Hi everybody, I just thought I should share an article with you:
" Stem cell transplants improve survival for some leukemia patients: study
Stem cell transplants improve survival among people with a common form of leukemia, researchers said Tuesday.
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is the most common form of acute leukemia.
It
is usually treated with chemotherapy to produce a first remission,
which nearly 70 per cent of patients under the age of 60 achieve,
researchers said.
Not every cancer cell is eradicated, however,
so relapses can occur, since the blood and bone marrow haven't been
restored to normal, said study author John Koreth of the Dana Farber
Cancer Institute in Boston. "
