Przewlekła białaczka szpikowa
Zapobieganie i profilaktyka
Przewlekła białaczka szpikowa (CML) jest nowotworem hematologicznym wywołanym mutacją genetyczną, której prewencja jest ograniczona ze względu na nieznane dokładne przyczyny mutacji. Jedynym możliwym do uniknięcia czynnikiem ryzyka jest ekspozycja na wysokie dawki promieniowania jonizującego, co wymaga stosowania środków ochronnych u osób zawodowo narażonych. Profilaktyka ogólna obejmuje zdrowy styl życia: unikanie tytoniu, ograniczenie alkoholu, utrzymanie BMI < 25, regularną aktywność fizyczną oraz dietę bogatą w owoce i warzywa, a ubogą w przetworzone mięso i czerwone mięso. Ograniczenie ekspozycji na substancje kancerogenne, takie jak benzen, formaldehyd i pestycydy, również jest zalecane. Wysokie spożycie przeciwutleniaczy (karotenoidy, kwas foliowy, witamina C, flawonoidy) może mieć działanie ochronne przed rozwojem nowotworów.

Przewlekła białaczka szpikowa – Profilaktyka i zapobieganie
Przewlekła białaczka szpikowa (CML) jest nowotworem krwi wywołanym specyficzną mutacją genetyczną. Według obecnej wiedzy medycznej, nie ma skutecznych metod zapobiegania większości przypadków CML, ponieważ nie znamy dokładnej przyczyny tej choroby i czynników wywołujących mutację genową, która prowadzi do jej rozwoju.12 Zmiana genetyczna prowadząca do CML nie jest dziedziczona od rodziców do dzieci, ale rozwija się po urodzeniu.3
Ograniczenie narażenia na promieniowanie
Jedynym potencjalnie możliwym do uniknięcia czynnikiem ryzyka CML jest ekspozycja na wysokie dawki promieniowania.45 Zaleca się unikanie narażenia na promieniowanie, gdy jest to możliwe.6 Dotyczy to szczególnie osób, których praca wymaga ekspozycji na promieniowanie – w takich przypadkach należy stosować odpowiednie środki ostrożności, aby zapobiec uszkodzeniu genów.7 Warto jednak podkreślić, że dotyczy to poziomów promieniowania, z którymi większość ludzi nie ma typowo do czynienia.8
Ogólne zalecenia dotyczące zdrowego stylu życia
Chociaż nie ma specyficznych metod zapobiegania CML, ogólne zalecenia dotyczące zdrowego stylu życia mogą pomóc w zmniejszeniu ryzyka rozwoju niektórych nowotworów. Zalecenia te obejmują:91011
- Unikanie używania wyrobów tytoniowych i narażenia na dym tytoniowy1213
- Ograniczenie lub unikanie spożywania alkoholu1415
- Utrzymywanie prawidłowej masy ciała (BMI poniżej 25)1617
- Regularna aktywność fizyczna1819
- Stosowanie diety bogatej w owoce i warzywa, a ubogiej w przetworzone mięso2021
- Ograniczenie spożycia czerwonego mięsa i produktów mlecznych22
- Unikanie lub zmniejszenie narażenia na substancje chemiczne mogące zwiększać ryzyko nowotworów, takie jak benzen i formaldehyd23
- Zmniejszenie narażenia na pestycydy24
Dieta w profilaktyce nowotworów
Dieta jest obszarem, w którym można wprowadzić natychmiastowe zmiany w celu zmniejszenia ryzyka rozwoju niektórych nowotworów.25 Wysokie spożycie owoców i warzyw wiąże się ze zmniejszonym ryzykiem rozwoju co najmniej 10 różnych nowotworów. Może to wynikać z potencjalnie ochronnego działania takich substancji jak karotenoidy, kwas foliowy, witamina C, flawonoidy, fitoestrogeny i izotiocyjaniany, często określanych jako przeciwutleniacze.2627
Istnieją przekonujące dowody, że nadmiar tkanki tłuszczowej znacznie zwiększa ryzyko wielu rodzajów nowotworów. Chociaż wiele informacji dotyczących żywienia w kontekście nowotworów przestrzega przed dietą wysokotłuszczową, prawdziwym winowajcą może być nadmiar kalorii. Badania wskazują, że istnieje niewielki lub żaden związek między tkanką tłuszczową a zawartością tłuszczu w diecie. Te badania pokazują, że nadmierne spożycie kalorii zarówno z tłuszczów, jak i węglowodanów prowadzi do tego samego efektu – nadmiaru tkanki tłuszczowej. Idealnym sposobem na uniknięcie nadmiernej ilości tkanki tłuszczowej jest ograniczenie spożycia kalorii i/lub zrównoważenie spożycia kalorii odpowiednią ilością ćwiczeń.28
Aktywność fizyczna
Wyższy poziom aktywności fizycznej może zmniejszyć zachorowalność na niektóre nowotwory. Według badaczy z Uniwersytetu Harvarda, gdyby cała populacja zwiększyła swój poziom aktywności fizycznej o 30 minut energicznego marszu dziennie (lub równoważne zużycie energii w innych aktywnościach), zaobserwowalibyśmy 15% redukcję zachorowalności na raka jelita grubego.293031
Zapobieganie progresji choroby
Zapobieganie progresji przewlekłej białaczki szpikowej jest kluczowym elementem skutecznego zarządzania chorobą.32 Celem jest utrzymanie choroby w fazie przewlekłej i zapobieganie jej przejściu do faz przyspieszenia lub kryzy blastycznej, gdzie leczenie staje się bardziej wymagające.33
Inhibitory kinazy tyrozynowej
Inhibitory kinazy tyrozynowej (TKI) odgrywają kluczową rolę w zapobieganiu progresji CML.34 Konsekwentne i prawidłowe stosowanie TKI, wraz z regularnym monitorowaniem, jest niezbędne, aby zapobiec postępowi choroby.35 Ważne jest, aby zawsze skonsultować się z lekarzem przed przerwaniem przyjmowania jakiegokolwiek leku na CML.36
Regularne monitorowanie
Regularne monitorowanie poprzez badania krwi i analizy molekularne jest kluczowe w wykrywaniu wczesnych oznak progresji.37 Szybka interwencja na podstawie wyników monitorowania może pomóc zapobiec przejściu choroby do bardziej agresywnych faz, poprawiając tym samym rokowanie pacjenta.38 Znajomość stopnia odpowiedzi na leczenie pomaga lekarzom określić, czy należy kontynuować obecne leczenie, zwiększyć dawkę lub wypróbować inną terapię.39
Profilaktyka infekcji i krwawień
Ważne jest, aby chronić się przed infekcjami i krwawieniami w trakcie leczenia, dopóki liczba komórek krwi nie powróci do normy.4041 Należy niezwłocznie poinformować zespół leczący szpitala, jeśli wystąpią jakiekolwiek objawy infekcji.42
Szczepionki są sposobem na ochronę przed niektórymi infekcjami. Lekarz prawdopodobnie zasugeruje:
- coroczną szczepionkę przeciwko grypie
- szczepionkę przeciwko koronawirusowi (COVID-19)43
Rola witaminy E
Badania sugerują, że witamina E może być stosowana jako potencjalny modulator biologiczny, aby zapobiec progresji do kryzy blastycznej i przezwyciężyć oporność na leki komórek białaczkowych w CML.44 Odkrycia wskazują na zdolność witaminy E do przekształcania fenotypu macierzystych komórek białaczkowych (LSC) w CML w fenotyp macierzystych komórek krwiotwórczych (HSC) z rozwojem potencjału różnicowania mieloidalnego.45 Może to sugerować, że witamina E mogłaby być stosowana jako dostępny induktor potencjału różnicowania komórek białaczkowych CML i zapobiegać rozwojowi kryzy blastycznej.46
Zapobieganie zespołowi rozpadu guza
Przewlekła białaczka szpikowa i jej leczenie mogą powodować objawy i problemy, w tym zespół rozpadu guza. Przeprowadza się regularne badania krwi, aby sprawdzić, czy pacjent jest narażony na to ryzyko. Ważne jest, aby pić dużo płynów. Lekarz może również przepisać tabletki, aby obniżyć ryzyko zespołu rozpadu guza.47
Stosowanie napromieniowanych produktów krwiopochodnych
Po leczeniu fludarabiną (lek chemioterapeutyczny) należy stosować wyłącznie napromieniowane produkty krwiopochodne. Promieniowanie zabija wszystkie białe krwinki w produktach krwiopochodnych, co chroni przed rzadką reakcją na komórki krwi. Pacjenci powinni nosić kartę lub bransoletkę, aby lekarze i pielęgniarki byli tego świadomi. Jest to ważne w przypadku nagłych wypadków.48
Zmniejszenie ryzyka rozwoju drugiego nowotworu
Można zmniejszyć ryzyko rozwoju drugiego nowotworu poprzez:
- unikanie tytoniu i dymu tytoniowego
- osiągnięcie i utrzymanie umiarkowanej wagi
- pozostawanie aktywnym fizycznie
- stosowanie zrównoważonej diety
- unikanie alkoholu lub ograniczenie go do jednego drinka dziennie dla kobiet lub dwóch drinków dziennie dla mężczyzn49
Szczególnie ważne dla osób z CML jest poddawanie się regularnym badaniom przesiewowym w kierunku nowotworów.50
Badania kliniczne
Stale poszukujemy nowych i lepszych sposobów leczenia CML. Badania kliniczne to badania, które testują nowe metody leczenia lub procedury, które mogą okazać się lepsze niż standardowe leczenie.51 Udział w badaniach klinicznych może być rozważany jako opcja dla pacjentów z CML.
Wsparcie w przestrzeganiu terapii
Ważne jest, aby poinformować zespół medyczny, jeśli skutki uboczne lub trudności finansowe utrudniają przyjmowanie leków. Personel medyczny może pomóc w zarządzaniu skutkami ubocznymi i dostarczyć informacji o programach, które pomagają w zakupie leków.5253
Kluczowe jest, aby skonsultować się z lekarzem tak szybko, jak to możliwe, jeśli występują potencjalne objawy białaczki, takie jak niewyjaśnione zmęczenie lub utrata wagi. Szybkie rozpoczęcie leczenia, uczestniczenie we wszystkich zaplanowanych wizytach kontrolnych i przestrzeganie schematu leczenia daje najlepszą szansę na uniknięcie progresji do fazy blastycznej.54

Cancer is largely a preventable illness. Two-thirds of cancer deaths in the U.S. can be linked to tobacco use, poor diet, obesity, and lack of exercise. All of these factors can be modified. Nevertheless, an awareness of the opportunity to prevent cancer through changes in lifestyle is still under-appreciated. The overwhelming majority of cases of CML cannot be prevented since we do not know the cause of this disease. […] Diet is a fertile area for immediate individual and societal intervention to decrease the risk of developing certain cancers. […] High fruit and vegetable consumption has been associated with a reduced risk for developing at least 10 different cancers. This may be a result of potentially protective factors such as carotenoids, folic acid, vitamin C, flavonoids, phytoestrogens and isothiocyanates. These are often referred to as antioxidants.

These studies show that excessive caloric intake from both fats and carbohydrates lead to the same result of excess body fat. The ideal way to avoid excess body fat is to limit caloric intake and/or balance caloric intake with ample exercise.

The resistance to inhibitors of tyrosine kinase necessitates novel approaches to the therapy of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). […] We suggest that vitamin E could be used as the plausible biological modulator to prevent the progression to blast crisis and to overcome drug resistance of leukemic cells in CML. […] Taken together, these findings suggest that vitamin E shows ability of remodeling leukemic stem cell (LSC) phenotype in CML cells to hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) phenotype with myeloid differentiation potential development. […] Our findings suggest the biomodulation role of vitamin E as the available inducer of differentiation potential of CML leukemic cells. […] Therefore, we point out that vitamin E could be able to affect leukemic blast stem cell phenotype remodeling. […] We can postulate that vitamin E might be used as a potential pharmacopoeian biological modulator capable of preventing the onset of blast crisis development, ameliorating disease progression and possibly overcoming drug resistance of leukemic cells in CML patients.
