Diagnosis

Ask your doctor questions about the medical history of the family, in addition to the medical history of the patient himself. The doctor will also perform physical examination. The blood tests also help to diagnose leukemia, but it can not determine the type of leukemia. The doctor may be asked to check out samples of bone marrow in order to learn more about the patient's condition. The acute lymphatic leukemia always happen because of changes affecting chromosomes. For example, the acute lymphatic leukemia sometimes be caused by the transmission part of one chromosome to another chromosome. This is what is called as the "Philadelphia chromosome". It is possible some of the tests performed on blood or bone marrow in order to investigate the existence of these changes in the chromosomes. Can conduct more tests for diagnosis, which can differentiate between types of leukemia. We must ask the doctor for additional tests that may be necessary. There is a specific type of pigmented materials can lead to color specific types of leukemia cells, the type of change, and so is the effect on other species. This helps to identify the white blood cells infected with this type of cancer.

Determine the stages

Usually being identified how advanced the cancer or its spread by identifying stages. There is no record to determine the stages of acute lymphatic leukemia. Being described acute lymphatic leukemia according to the following:



Subtype of acute lymphatic leukemia patient.

What if the leukemia has spread outside the blood and bone marrow outside.



This information is used instead of specifying the traditional stages for the development of the treatment plan. In adults, the disease is also being described as a non-processor, or as a down, or Maaoda. The leukemia is untreated leukemia who were newly diagnosed and did not undergo treatment after. The bleaching of acute lymphatic leukemia blood is falling, which was dealt with so that I no longer have any symptoms of the patient. The acute lymphatic leukemia blood recurrent, or relapsing, he is cancer that has returned again after falling. As children, the acute lymphatic leukemia is described according to the following two groups also:



Standard or low risk.

High risk.



Children designees receive within high-risk group typically more aggressive than therapeutic doses received by children designees within the standard risk category. Include standard or low-risk patients group, the children aged between one and ten years. And a census of white blood cells in these children less than fifty thousand units per liter at the time of diagnosis. High-risk group includes children under the age of one year, and children who are ten years old or more. Also fifty thousand units per liter or more and have white cells census in these children at the time of diagnosis. It is possible that the spread of acute lymphatic leukemia to other parts of the body, through the blood vessels and lymph channels. If you were to find leukemia cells, the more tests may be necessary in order to determine the extent of spread of the disease. Lumbar puncture is used in order to investigate the presence of leukemia cells in the fluid surrounding the brain and spinal cord. This is being done through the introduction of a needle puncture in the spine. X-ray imaging can reveal the presence of leukemia cells in the chest. There are other types of imaging, such as X computed tomography, or magnetic resonance imaging, can be used to search for evidence of cancer.
