My friend was diagnosed with leukemia. Can you treat leukemia with radiation?

2 Answers

No. We used to use whole body irradiation in the past before bone marrow transplant but now we use chemotherapy.
TALK TO YOUR DOCTOR, THERE ARE TOO MANY VARIABLES TO ANSWER SPECIFICALLY. EVERY SITUATION IS DIFFERENT. THERE ARE MANY FORMS OF LEUKEMIA, BUT MOSTLY IT IS A CONDITION TREATED WITH CHEMOTHERAPY.
