How Should Bone Marrow Cancer In The Elderly Be Treated?
My father in-law was just diagnosed with bone marrow cancer. he is 72 years old and the stage they told him was a little under stage 1. They are doing no treatment at this time waiting to see how it progresses. IS that normal? and if so what are his chance of the cancer cells not spreading? thank you!
Hi, dear I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. Treatment depends on type of cancer and stage of cancer. In chronic lymphocytic leukemia wait and watch approach is used. In acute leukemia treatment should be given in all cases. Treatment of choice is chemotherapy. Bone marrow transplantation is the best treatment for all type of bone marrow cancer.
