Leukemia is a disease wherein the bone marrow produces a high amount of dysfunctional white blood cells. These white blood cells do not allow the red blood cells to function properly. The cause of the disease is not known. However, there are some factors like radiation exposure and genetics, that may increase the risk of leukemia. Here are the treatments, foods to eat and avoid, and lifestyle changes to manage the condition: Treatment The treatment for leukemia involves chemotherapy, radiation therapy, biological therapy, targeted therapy, stem cell transplant, and even surgery. BLINCYTO® It is an injection used for the treatment of Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL). It is known to work with the immune system to search and destroy cancerous cells. This treatment option also helps in alleviating the side effects of chemotherapy. TASIGNA® It is used to manage the symptoms of Philadelphia chromosome-positive (Ph+) chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). It helps in making CML a more manageable condition to live with.
