Not everyone absorbs the chemicals at the same speed. Today scientists are working especially in the doses specified.

According to a study by American researchers, leukemia can be treated more efficiently with a new chemotherapy merits.

According to a recent study conducted by six doctors from the Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences, University of Tennessee, Memphis, United States, the tough battle with leukemia is much more likely to win if applicable merits.

So far, the only change in dose was determined by the size of the body surface of each patient. However, according to the group of scientists, led by Dr. William Evans, is another key issue: to consider that not all people absorb drugs at the same speed, some drug assimilate much faster or slower than others. This is what is known as bioavailability.

To reach these conclusions, the scientists compared the application of conventional chemotherapy, versus an individualized application of the mechanism.
Five years of treatment

To check your assumptions, the professionals at the University of Tennessee divided into two groups for 182 children suffering from leukemia. The first were treated with chemotherapy classical and the latter, with the new modality.

After five years of study and analysis, concluded that individualized treatment is actually much more effective against childhood leukemia. The disease disappeared completely in 76% of cases in children who were treated individually. In the group of minors who applied conventional chemotherapy, the leukemia was gone at 60%.

After those results, Dr. Evans concluded that “the study shows that classical chemotherapy sometimes fails because patients receive inadequate doses of drugs, not because leukemia is resistant to those drugs, as I used to think.”

The study also concluded that the specialized treatment reduces, in many cases, medication side effects of chemotherapy.

Cancer cells grow and develop rapidly, therefore used drugs tend to attack rapidly growing cells. Sometimes these cells are normal human body. Hence the side effects arise, which can be translated into:

• Nausea.
• Vomiting.
• Fatigue.
• Baldness
• Decrease in number of red blood cells in the blood.
• Decreased sperm.

Some chemotherapies are so powerful that require the patient regularly for a few days interne in the center physician. In those cases, side effects tend to diminish if implemented personalized medicines.

Anyway, not over-take the necessary precautions, which are:

• Rest and following a diet rich in protein and calories.
• Visit your dentist before starting treatment, because chemotherapy tends to create a special sensitivity in the mouth.
• If possible, take a course of relaxation, because you must be psychologically prepared to keep the strength to face treatment.
