She is only 18 years old.... Biopsy not doen yet.... she used to have neck gland swellings periodically for last 1 and half year..... But she did not have any other clinical disorders..... Recently she had been to a doctor, who suspected it to be malignant growth.... and the 'FANAC' test result was positive. So please let me know what is the best treatment applicable for this type of patients(residing in INDIA)...... I heard "Tata Memorial center" Hospital at Bomay is the best place in INDIA for treatment....... any other beter place as per your personal opinion ?....Thanks for your time !Subhajit  subhajit Tue, 15 Jul 2008 00:00:00 GMT lymphosis is a rather obsolete term (at least in the US) for lymphocytic leukemia.  Given her age, I would assume she has ALL.   Acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) is not a single disease. It is really a group of related diseases, and patients with different subtypes of ALL vary in their outlook and response to treatment. Treatment options for each patient are based on the leukemia subtype as well as certain prognostic features.  Several types of treatment may be used in people with ALL. The major therapy is chemotherapy. Surgery and radiation therapy may be used in special circumstances.   Oncrx Thu, 17 Jul 2008 00:00:00 GMT
