What are some treatments for Leukemia?

Treatments for leukemia are based on the type and stage of the disease but most often involve chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and drug therapies targeting specific molecular mechanisms. Stem cell or bone marrow transplantation are used to replace the diseased blood-forming cells. Immunotherapy as well as CAR T-cell therapy are newer strategies that are used to enhance the immune system's attack on cancer. Treatment is individualized, and continued advances are enhancing survival as well as quality of life.
