Can a 68-year-old man be treated if he has acute leukemia?

A 68-year-old man with acute leukemia is generally treatable. Acute leukemia is a malignant tumor of the hematopoietic system, which results in a large number of naïve cells in the peripheral blood due to the proliferation of abnormally proliferated blasts in the bone marrow and inhibition of normal hematopoiesis.

1. Drug treatment: If the patient's condition is mild, chemotherapy can be carried out with cyclophosphamide for injection, cytarabine for injection and other drugs under the guidance of a doctor, which can play a role in killing cancer cells and thus control the development of the disease.At the same time, you can also take glucocorticoid drugs such as prednisone acetate tablets and dexamethasone tablets according to the doctor's instructions.

2. Surgical treatment: If the patient's condition is serious and the goal of cure cannot be achieved through drug treatment, he can also go to a regular hospital for treatment through allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in time.

3. Radiotherapy: During chemotherapy, it can also be combined with radiotherapy for adjuvant therapy, which can effectively kill cancer cells in the body, thereby alleviating uncomfortable symptoms.

4. Chemotherapy: For older patients, symptoms such as nausea and vomiting may occur during chemotherapy, and drugs such as domperidone tablets and mosapride citrate capsules can be taken as prescribed by the doctor.
