Lowering white blood cell (WBC) count in leukemia typically involves targeted treatments such as chemotherapy, which aims to destroy cancerous cells, and may include radiation therapy or targeted therapy. Medications like corticosteroids can also help reduce inflammation and WBC production. It's essential to work closely with a healthcare professional to determine the most appropriate treatment plan based on the specific type of leukemia and individual patient factors. Regular monitoring and supportive care are also vital during this process.
