Notas do Editor

  1. In 1996, one of our brothers, Evan Chen, was diagnosed with Leukemia. Our fraternity, along with many of his friends, organized a joint effort to find a bone marrow donor. What resulted was the largest bone marrow typing drive in the history of the National Marrow Donor Program and AADP.
  2. In 1996, one of our brothers, Evan Chen, was diagnosed with Leukemia. Our fraternity, along with many of his friends, organized a joint effort to find a bone marrow donor. What resulted was the largest bone marrow typing drive in the history of the National Marrow Donor Program and AADP.
  3. In 2003, Chloe Chang was diagnosed with Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia (APML). Chloe is of Asian and Western European descent and is the daughter of Stanford History Professor Gordon Chang. There are relatively few biracial or minority potential donors in the registry maintained by the National Marrow Donor Program, which matches unrelated donors to patients. That year, Chloe became the primary focus of our organization’s efforts to raise awareness for the importance of becoming a bone marrow donor.
  4. Yul Kwon, Cook Islands: Survivor winner, is a spokesman for the AADP. Yul and Evan Chen were best friends at Stanford, and it was largely due to Yul’s initiative and drive that led to the immense success of what was then the largest bone marrow typing drive.
  5. <number>
  6. Well, there are actually four different types of Leukemia<number>
  7. <number>
  8. <number>
  9. <number>
  10. <number>
  11. <number>
  12. For the purpose of our presentation, we will only concentrate on AML because<number>
  13. <number>
  14. Here we have a picture of what AML looks like<number>
  15. <number>
  16. This crowds out the rest of the cells in the Bone Marrow and causes<number>
  17. Anemia is a condition where not enough oxygen is circulating in the body. This is because red blood cells carry oxygen. Anemia causes a person to be pale, tired, and short of breath.<number>
  18. <number>
  19. Platelets are crucial in forming blood clots. This is the reason why Leukemia patients get bruised easily and can’t stop bleeding if they have a cut.<number>
  20. This is a picture of and AML cell reproducing.<number>
  21. Hematopoietic are forces to transform into Leukemia cells through this process<number>
  22. <number>
  23. <number>
  24. <number>
  25. Essentially, steps 2 through 5 allow the Leukemia cells to stay alive and remain undetected by the body’s immune system<number>
  26. Essentially this step is where the Leukemia cell reproduces.<number>
  27. You see that here circled in this diagram<number>
  28. I know we talked about both the traditional treatments as well as emerging solutions, but I wanted to concentrate on the traditional treatments in depth for this project.<number>
  29. There are two parts to treating leukemia<number>
  30. <number>
  31. For AML patients, chemotherapy is needed as soon as possible because it is so serious.Chemotherapy is where the patient is treated with a multitude of drugs and drug combination.<number>
  32. The goal of this is to kill as many AML cells as possible. However because drugs cannot yet differentiate between the cells, it destroys a lot of the good cells as well.<number>
  33. Once a patient achieves remission, they begin to feel better. Leukemia cells can’t really be detected in the patient at this point through common tests.<number>
  34. <number>
  35. <number>
  36. To destroy the undetected AML cell, or to make sure that there aren’t any AML cells left. <number>
  37. Generally stem cell transplants use Peripheral blood stem cells from donors. This is the most common form of stem cell transplant today. In some cases however, marrow from a donor is needed as well. <number>
  38. <number>
  39. These last steps are the same as mentioned in class. In addition however, each case is catered to the patient depending on 4 factors: age, physical wellbeing, blood and marrow test results, stem cell donor availability<number>
  40. <number>
