Journal Title: Academic Research International - Year 2014, Vol 5, Issue 5
Abstract
Leukemia is the most common type of blood cancer. Leukemia grows from the cells in the bone marrow that give rise to white blood cells. The effects of chemotherapy were examined in 150 leukemia patients. The blood counts of many of the patients were above the normal range before chemotherapy. By chemotherapy treatment it was observed that blood cell counts came to normal values in most of the leukemia patients while somewhere deviations were also observed. Statistical analysis of the data showed chemotherapy to be effective for Leukemia patients. Side effects of chemotherapy like nausea, vomiting, hair loss and fever were also noted in patients being treated.
