    As soon as induction therapy is completed, the bone marrow is actually examined. If blast cells are more than 5% with around 20% cellular cells, induction therapy is carried out again with dose like the first but cytarabine is given for 5 and antracycline 2 days. But after the second therapy if there is no positive result stem cell transplant is regarded, though this is just possible in patient younger than 65 years.

    The second stage is post remission or consolidation therapy, which is targeted at cure of patients using acute myeloid leukemia after the leukemic cells becomes undetected. In this therapy treatment is based on the patient's condition, this therapy involves a further intensive chemotherapy of three to five courses. Patients with high risk of cytogenetics are offered allogeneic stem cell transplant. Patients who stem cell transplant is not really suitable for, are treated which has a combination therapy of histamine dihydrochloride (ceplene) together with interleukin 2 leukemia.

    Dealing acute myeloid leukemia has shown good prognosis in plenty of time past especially if diagnosis is manufactured early ant treatment is started immediately.

    The results of a new study just published in the Journal Blood, has highlighted how a compound obtained in fish oil may in future be capable to eradicate the blood cancer known as leukemia.

    Within laboratory experiments at Pennsylvania State University, researchers found that a component of Omega 3 termed Delta-12-J3 Prostaglandin or D12PGJ3 may well selectively target the root cells of chronic myelogenous leukemia or even CML.

    D12PGJ3 arises from Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), longer chain fatty acid identified abundantly in oily sea food. It has now indicated in plenty of previously studies that Omega 3 fatty acids have important health benefits in helping to lower the associated risk of disease but this latest trial now opens up the incredible possibility that Omega 3 can be utilized in cancer therapy at some point.

    "Research in earlier times on fatty acids has revealed the health benefits of fatty acids on cardiovascular system together with brain development, particularly in infants but we have shown that some metabolites of Omega-3 are able to selectively kill the leukemia-causing root cells" said Sandeep Prabhu, author with the new study and relate professor of immunology and molecular toxicology in the Department of Veterinary together with Medical Sciences

    Prabhu also said that it's important to target the stem cells because they can divide and cause more cancer cells.

    Current drugs used for CML can prolong some sort of patient's life by keeping the number of leukemia cells in the blood down nonetheless they can't cure leukemia because they don't specifically target this leukemia stem cells explained Robert Paulson, Co author of the study and associate professor of veterinary and biomedical sciences.

    "The people must take the drugs continuously, " said Paulson. "If they stop, the disease relapses because the leukemia stem cells are resistant to the drugs. "

    If you get treatment early inside disease, there is a chance that cancer cells might be eradicated therefore you would be one of the few survivors who would live to tell your story about dealing with death .
