Exanthematous cancer is one of the rarest types of cancer in which the cancerous cells first appear in the bone marrow and later on in the blood. In this type of cancer the cells of the bone marrow are abnormal. This condition may be present at birth or may emerge at any point of life.
Exanthematous cancer is extremely difficult to treat and can have very high mortality rate. The mortality rate may reach as high as 90%. Treatment therefore involves the use of several medicines like chemotherapy, immunotherapy, etc. This treatment may be supportive or may involve curative measures.
The primary therapy used for the treatment of cancer is chemotherapy. This medicine involves using drugs to kill the cancerous cells. This may also involve the use of systemic or local lymph nodes or the surgical removal of cancerous tissues from the lymph nodes. The chemotherapy is given in high doses for a long period of time. It has been shown that if the exanthematous lymph nodes are removed the survival rate in case of an exanthematous cancer is very high.
Immunotherapy is another therapy that is used to fight general debility treatment. In immunotherapy, a patient is given a vaccination or an immune stimulating vaccine after being exposed to cancer-causing agents. The person who has been exposed may get antibodies to such cancer causing agents and so will fight the disease in the same way that they would have fought it had they not been exposed. Sometimes, chemotherapy is given along with immunotherapy to boost the efficacy of the immunotherapy. This gives better chances of beating the cancer.
Another form of therapy used is called dawakhana in Pakistan. This therapy is similar to that of chemotherapy and like immunotherapy it also boosts the chances of beating the cancer. With this form of therapy the lymph nodes of the patient are removed. The excretion of exanthematous fluid from the body is also reduced.
One of the last therapies that is used in some cases is known as radiofrequency ablation. In this process the whole of the exanthematous tissue of the patient which has not been removed is basically frozen by using liquid nitrogen. This frozen mass is then removed from the body.
After this the lymph nodes are removed surgically. The doctor who does the surgery is known as an oncologist. The entire process is done under a general anesthetic. The patient can recover from the surgery within one to three days. It takes about a week for the lymph nodes to be completely removed from the body.
Exnant women who have had chemotherapy must avoid having any vaginal intercourse for two weeks after they have been removed from the body. The doctors will usually advise you to go in for frequent vaginal examinations so that you are completely tested before the procedure. Women of child bearing age are not advised any operation until they are past the child-bearing age. Exantshematous cancer usually disappears on its own after two years.
A biopsy is normally done after the patient is released from the hospital. The biopsy is done by the oncology department and is normally performed on an outpatient basis. The doctor who does the biopsy will insert a needle into the exanthematous mass and will make a small incision. The doctor will then remove a small amount of the cancerous cells that were in the exanthematous mass.
After the biopsy the lymph nodes are checked. If there is a problem they will either need to be removed or treated with medication. A drainage procedure will be performed. This drainage procedure is done through a small tube that is inserted through the belly button. The tubes will be removed when the cancerous masses are no longer a threat to the person.
Another procedure is known as laser coagulation therapy. This method is used to remove the exanthematous masses that have been removed surgically. The mass will still be cancerous however, it will not spread to other parts of the body. The process of laser coagulation works by injecting a special type of dye into the cancerous mass. The dye will cause the cell to divide faster and will destroy the cell as well.
One last procedure known as a chemoembolization will be used on a patient who has lymph nodes in her neck. The lymph nodes will be removed surgically and then the patient will need chemotherapy to kill any remaining cancer cells in the exanthematous dawakhana in pakistan. This procedure may cause scarring, but it is usually mild. In some extreme cases however the patient can even die if the chemotherapy treatments are given at the incorrect dosage. A last resort for severe cancer patients is a lung transplant.
