Bone marrow transplantation is clearly curative. In fact, it is the only proven cure for chronic myeloid leukemia, even now. However, only 30% to 40% of patients with chronic myeloid leukemia have an appropriate donor. Beyond that, the mortality (death rate) from the procedure ranges from 20% to 30%, depending upon the age of the recipient. Finally, this procedure is extremely expensive. Nevertheless, bone marrow transplantation has been the treatment of choice for chronic myeloid leukemia since the 1970s. In retrospect, it is interesting to recall that at the time this therapy was being developed, we thought the cure of this disease was not a result of the transplantation itself. Rather, we believed the cure came from the high doses of chemotherapy and radiation that were given to suppress the immune (protective) system and thereby prepare the patient's body to accept the transplant.. there is no herb that will cure leukemia...
