Leukemia

It is not spread among humans, but it is spread throughout the body by the cells. Leukemia is cancer of the white blood cells. Like other cancers it is not contagious. White blood cells help to fight infections, so obviously a person with Leukemia is unable to fight off infection. However, if caught in time it is one of the more curable cancers.

I know that cancers aren't contagious and what not, but I've recently read up on things that (can??? can it or does it?) cause leukemia. For example, the human t cell leukemia virus. It says that can associate with leukemia, and that virus can be spread through sexual contact. So if that's the cause of it, then wouldn't that imply that I, if involved with that, could get that virus and potentially leukemia or forms of it? Or is there something im like misreading, or misunderstanding. It's all kind of confusing. So i mean, is there like a "natural" form of leukemia that's caused by unfortunate circumstances (like breast cancer) as well as leukemia that's derived from a virus which is "contagious" in the sense that it can be transmitted?

yes you could die from leukemia because that can mess up your blood.. It doesn't let your blood work properly

it depends. the average is 2-7 years. i know someone who has leukemia and has got diagnosed about 6 years ago. There is always hope. but that is the average time range that doctors will give you to live.

There is actually a way to stop it but it is very very hard, its chances are almost the same as finding a suitable donor. The process takes time and money as well. In our blood, there is something that is lack of, that is why leukemia happens and if you are able to find another match for thepatients blood, they would be encouraged to donate blood and then the hospital would extract the 'something' which the patient need and finally, inject it into the patient. However, large amount of 'it' is needed and there is a very rare chances that you might find a match. It takes plenty of money as well for the equipments to extract the 'something'. However, some could not work because there MIGHT be things that are inside of the patient that causes the red blood cells to be 'eaten'. i forgot what the 'something' is and this might not answer your question... sorry...

Anemia in any Leukemia is caused by the bone marrow not producing the proper amounts of red blood cells. Lymphoblastic Leukemia is a form of Leukemia that is caused by deficiencies in the Lymph system in our bodies. Cancerous lymph cells,tumors or other abnormalities can cause it. Possibly low platelet counts and low white blood counts accompany the low RBC

Yes, There are. Some chemotherapy regimens can cure certain types and Stem Cell Transplants and Bone Marrow transplants can sure it. I am having a Stem Cell Transplant for my Leukemia and looking forward to being better and cured!!

a psycologist named B.F. Skinner, who was very well known, died in 1990 of it, He wrote several books on behaviorism and several other subjects.

Dialysis is the cleansing of the blood, replacing the function of the kidneys. Leukemia has nothing to do with it.

Dreaming about dialysis or any specific medical procedure is probably a metaphor referring indirectly to something happening in your life. Because dialysis is a process of filtering toxins from the blood, the dream might suggest that you need to "cleanse" your life from impurities. Alternatively, it might represent medical care in general.

> Yet again, since the question confuses dialysis and leukemia, which are not related, the dream might not be about either, but rather about the use of artificial means of prolonging life. THAT might suggest that something in your life is being "kept alive" or "kept going" by artificial efforts. For example, perhaps a certain relationship is over, but you keep it going artificially.

The most likely cause of Marie Curie's leukemia was her prolonged exposure to high levels of ionizing radiation while conducting her pioneering research on radioactivity. This exposure significantly increased her risk of developing the disease.

basically the cell replicates at an exponental rate forming a cyst or tumor if it is bynine then it isn't that bad but if it's malignant then it develops fingers and kinda looks like a crab (cancer) this can cause problems

nothing, it effects your blood and bone marrow

I believe you are referring to Grammy Award winning musician Michael Becker who was a tenor saxophonist. Becker died of leukemia at the age of 57 at a New York City hospital after winning 11 Grammy Awards over his lifetime. Becker died on Saturday, January 13, 2007.

Leukemia is cancer of the blood or the bone marrow. This can not be caused by alcoholic

beverages. Drinking alcohol (beer, wine or liquor) in moderation is not a risk factor for developing leukemia.

Leukemia is the most common type of cancer in children and the most common form of the disease in young people is acute lymphoblastic leukemia (also called acute lymphocytic leukemia, and acute lymphoid leukemia). However, leukemia also occurs among adults and is not only a "childhood disease."

The most common known risk factors for leukemia (things that make leukemia more likely) are smoking, exposure to atomic bomb radiation, previous chemotherapy or radiation therapy, human T-cell leukemia virus, myelogysplasctic syndrome and Downs syndrome.

It could last up to a acouple years cause my dad had it for atleast 3 or more

In general, leukemia is characterized by an increase in WBC's. This may lead you to think there would be a strengthening of the immune system, however, the increase in WBC's is due to the unregulated proliferation of immature cells (myeloid cells or lymphoblasts) or abnormal cells which are both incapable of defense against infection.

Yes, through chemotherapy and surgery.
