Argument Against Leukemia

HIV is a sexually transmitted disease that attacks the body’s immune system by diminishing CD4 cells that help prevent and fight illnesses. HIV is a virus, more specifically a retrovirus that transcribes its RNA into the host cell’s DNA, and is spread by a transfer in bodily fluids namely drug injection and condomless sex. As the disease progresses into acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS), the virus continues eliminating CD4 cells until the immune system becomes virtually ineffective [5]. Scientists first identified HIV in 1985 in response to the AIDS crisis plaguing the United States [6]. With no cure yet available, those affected with HIV must rely on antiretroviral drug therapy to decrease their chances of developing AIDS [7].

Technology has advanced greatly in the last decade, everyday scientists are developing techniques to cure diseases. Millions of people die every year due to harmful diseases with no cure. The term virus holds a negative meaning to humans. However, scientists are now able to manipulate viruses in a beneficial way. The Talimogene Laherparepvec virus, which came from herpes, has been genetically modified in order to treat melanoma patients (Ledford, 2015).

This new remedy that scientists are experimenting with is called virotherapy. Virotherapy was defined in the article as viruses that have been genetically engineered to find and kill cancer cells while leaving healthy cells untouched. A treatment such as this has been a favorable one considering how the traditional cancer chemotherapies have been known to not only attack cancer

The research shows that HIV has the most promise for blood cancer. When doing this procedure the patient CAN NOT get AIDS because it’s attacking the cancerous cells. Normally HIV get in contact with the white blood cells but because of the genetic code HIV targets the cancer. Twelve patients have received the treatment over the past three years. Every virus were used for different cancers.

In 2016 the FDA gave breakthrough status and approval, which will allow hundreds of patients to be treated

In conclusion this is definitely an important invention to the science and a new step in the medicine, it is a hope of many patients and, is important that people support and get knowledge about this kind of topics because actually nobody know if at any moment they will need this treatment. The microbbuble treatment still need to improve but for now it can save many lives and take away some of the synthons of the people with

The controversial aspects of acceptance by the mainstream medical community in regards to the application or utilization of this form of treatment.

The Breakthrough Therapy designation is granted on the basis of evaluating preliminary clinical evidence obtained from clinical trial data in humans. The data from animal studies or studies conducted in vitro are insufficient to defend this Breakthrough Therapy designation [1] . Therefore, a sponsor usually submits a Breakthrough

The blood is then treated using a viral solution that consists of viral traces of the virus such as HIV.As the T-cells have been treated using the solution, the cells infected express their receptors and the DNA is then Tran scripted into RNA and express proteins. The T-cells are then genetically engineered to identify cancer cells and destroy them upon sight. The engineered CAR T-cells are then transferred back into the patient. As the engineered T-cells are reintroduced into the body, they begin to patrol the human body and search for the Cancer

to conduct a trial with limited patients and still be able to obtain useful information in

For those who don't know, Leukemia is a type of blood cancer that attacks blood cells, and blood forming tissue. It starts out as one, but rapidly reproduces into things called immature atypical WBC (White Blood Cells). There are many different forms of Leukemia, each with their own unique problems. Acute Myelogenous, Acute Lymphocytic, Chronic myelogenous, Chronic Lymphocytic, and hairy cell leukemia are the most common kinds of Leukemia. “AM is the most common kind of Leukemia for adults”. While AL is the most common leukemia for children, nearly half of the cases are. CL is most common for the elderly 70 and up. This specific cancer has few or no significant symptoms, however it is still dangerous because it's an older person(Leukemia). Leukemia is curable, and are multiple ways in doing so. What makes Leukemia cells different than normal blood cells? They don't die unlike normal ones that die when damaged, or old. Because of this they just continue to multiply and add up (What). Many types of doctors are able to help cancer patients with Leukemia. Soon there will be many more ways to help

Jack woke up one morning not feeling well. He felt very weak and could not get out of bed. His mother decided to take him to the doctors. The doctors took many tests to figure out what was making him feel that way. After about an hour or two the doctors got the results back from a blood test. Results that would change Jack’s childhood for the worse. Jack has been diagnosed with Leukemia, a blood cancer. Of course, Jack was not sure what that meant but, his parents became worried beyond belief with the long road ahead of them. Scientists and researchers were all involved in the discovery of Leukemia cancer, which increased knowledge of this cancer, decreased deaths and discovered treatments, and started charity groups to fund research.

helps to quicken the rates of remission. There are also two drugs that are in the last phase of FDA approval- lamivudine and famciclovir. These are thought to be available toward the end of the year.

Human Immunodeficiency Virus or HIV is a virus that no one wants to talk about. Due to lacking media attention, judgment, and ignorance, many people are not knowledgeable about the virus. In the 1980s people became aware of the HIV virus because of the epidemic that arose, but many people didn’t react appropriately to it. One of the reasons there was not a huge reaction was because nobody was aware of the disease. However, scientist soon discovered that everyone was susceptible to the virus. One of the original thoughts of HIV, was that it came from Africa, originating from West African monkeys. Along string of this virus was found and
