Understanding Leukemia gives busy
health care professionals the educational resource
they need. Patients are demanding more
education, but find the information available
on the Internet too fragmented and the studies
in medical journals too advanced to help them.
The OIES™ provides reliable, comprehensive
and accesible cancer information. It educates
your patients while allowing you to focus on individualized
care.
Understanding Leukemia is also
an invaluable resource for clinicians dealing
with this difficult condition. Featuring a clinical
level with a detailed examination of patterns
of spread and discussions of the principles of
oncology, it introduces health care professionals
to the central issues in the treatment of the
disease.
A comprehensive guide to leukemia and its treatment, both patients and clinicians can explore content sections such as:
What is Leukemia?
Understand the complexities of cancer, and the anatomy and physiology of the bone marrow.
Diagnosis
Recognize leukemia and evaluate prognosis

What is Leukemia?
This section gives patients and novice health
professionals an important introduction
to leukemia. It includes a discussion of risk
factors and statistics about the disease. Easy-to-understand
interactive diagrams explain cancer, and the anatomy
and physiology of the bone marrow.

Diagnosis
The Diagnosis section focuses on recognizing symptoms,
understanding investigations and tests,
staging leukemia and evaluating prognosis. It
describes the symptoms of leukemia, the methods
used to detect it (e.g., lymph node biopsy, bone
marrow biopsy, physical examination, x-ray, gallium
scan, CT scan, MRI scan, ultrasound, blood tests)
and the various factors that influence prognosis.
Illustrative graphics and animations reveal how
different stages describe the extent of the disease
and predict how likely the cancer is to progress.

Types of Leukemia
There are many different types of leukemia. This
section describes and contrasts the various
acute and chronic forms of the disease. It also
includes a discussion of the prognosis
and treatment approaches for each type.

Treatments
The Treatments section discusses both treatment
decision-making and the details of each
of the primary therapies for leukemia: chemotherapy,
radiation therapy, blood and marrow transplantation
and biological therapy. It clearly shows what
to expect from each treatment approach,
providing answers to the questions: Why are these
treatments used? How do these treatments work?
What will happen during my visits? How will I
manage my side effects? For each type of treatment,
narrated 3-D animations and diagrams reinforce
the key concepts.

Supportive Care
The Supportive Care section focuses on the medical,
psychological and social services that help
patients cope with the many challenges of leukemia
and its treatment. The topics include managing
symptoms and side effects, diet and nutrition,
pain management, relaxation techniques and complementary
therapies. Sections on palliative care, spiritual
support, psychological support and quality of
life help patients address difficult emotional
issues. Information on how to get in touch with
support groups and services allows patients
to seek out further assistance.
