  • (1888PressRelease) June 21, 2011 - Waldenstroms Macroglobulinemia is a rare form of cancer. Scientists of the American Cancer Society have carried out recent research on the latest treatment methods available for this type of cancer. The American Cancer Society have discovered a new method of treatment for sufferers which shows positive signs.

    It has been found through research that changes in DNA can lead to the occurrence of the lymphoma cancer. The DNA study has shown the fact that the growth of white blood cells are introduced due to the development of genes in specific translocation. Due to the rapid growth of white blood cells in the body, the immune system slow down and become inoperative. It may lead to the unusual reactions in the body.

    Research is being carried out by scientists that how Waldenstroms Macroglobulinemia develops due to the multiplication of lymphocytes. Scientists are trying their best to understand the process, so as to start the treatment process to prevent the development of the cancerous cell as early as possible.

    Recent studies show that a chemical known as Interleukin-6 (IL-6) has been produced by the bone marrow tissues in the body. Multiplication of myeloma cells can be increased due to IL-6. The bone destruction of myeloma cells can also be done due to IL-6. The American Cancer Society states that recent studies are going on to find out ways to prevent the function of IL-6.

    To cure Waldenstroms Macroglobulinemia, a new method of treatment has been introduced by doctors which is known as biological therapy. In this type of treatment patients own immune system is made capable to fight against the cancerous cell.

    Researchers have found that the anti-cholesterol medicine can help to reduce the IgM levels. This treatment can also be used to cure Waldenstroms Macroglobulinemia. It has been found that with the stimulation of this medicine, several side effects can appear, but still this treatment can be helpful for the treatment of Waldenstroms Macroglobulinemia.

    Research is also being carried on in detail about chemotherapy by scientist which is one of the best treatments to cure Waldenstroms Macroglobulinemia patients. Recent study has revealed the fact that Chemotherapy drugs treatment is the best compared to other treatment for patients. To achieve a desirable result, different types of drugs can be combined together for the treatment of Waldenstroms Macroglobulinemia.

    Researchers are focusing to find out the best method of treatment for Waldenstroms Macroglobulinemia which can be very effective and prevents the growth of cancerous cell.
