What u know about prognosis and treatment in this case
Result of bone marrow biopsy of pt 35 years old and history beginning 2 months ago as mentioned in previous post
More than 95% of new patients are treated well or at least adequately by Cladribine or Pentostatin. A majority of new patients can expect a disease-free remission time span of about 10 years, or sometimes much longer after taking one of these drugs just once. If re-treatment is necessary in the future, the drugs are normally effective again, although the average length of remission is somewhat shorter in subsequent treatments.
Thanks doctor for your help , Excuse me have u seen or treat other pt with same condition and really the response is good ????? What do u think about splenectomy???
Yes, the response to treatment is usually very good. As for Splenectomy (laparoscopic preferred); it is considered only for patients with bleeding from severe thrombocytopenia or failure to respond to systemic therapy.
