Yini i-anaplastic astrocytoma?

Ama-astrocytomas awuhlobo lwesimila sobuchopho. Zikhula kumaseli wobuchopho amise okwenkanyezi abizwa ngama-astrocyte, ayingxenye yezicubu ezivikela amangqamuzana ezinzwa ebuchosheni bakho nakumgogodla.

Ama-astrocytomas ahlukaniswa ngebanga lawo. I-astrocytomas yebanga 1 nebanga 2 ikhula kancane futhi inobungozi, okusho ukuthi ayinawo umdlavuza. I-astrocytomas yebanga lesi-3 nebanga lesi-4 ikhula ngokushesha futhi iyingozi, okusho ukuthi banomdlavuza.

I-anaplastic astrocytoma ibanga lesi-3 le-astrocytoma. Ngenkathi zivamile, zingaba zimbi kakhulu uma zingalashwa. Qhubeka ufunde ukuze ufunde kabanzi ngama-astrocytomas e-anaplastic, kufaka phakathi izimpawu zawo kanye namazinga okusinda abantu abanawo.

Ziyini izimpawu?

Izimpawu ze-anaplastic astrocytoma zingahluka ngokuya ngokuthi isikhumba sikuphi, kepha ngokuvamile zifaka:

• ikhanda
• ukukhathala noma ukozela
• isicanucanu noma ukuhlanza
• izinguquko zokuziphatha
• isithuthwane
• ukulahleka kwememori
• izinkinga zokubona
• izinkinga zokuxhumanisa nokulinganisela

Kubangelwa yini?

Abaphenyi abaqiniseki ukuthi yini ebangela i-anaplastic astrocytomas. Noma kunjalo, zingahlotshaniswa ne:

• izakhi zofuzo
• ukungajwayelekile kwamasosha omzimba
• ukuvezwa kwemisebe ye-UV kanye namakhemikhali athile

Abantu abanezinkinga ezithile zofuzo, njenge-neurofibromatosis yohlobo I (NF1), i-Li-Fraumeni syndrome, noma i-tuberous sclerosis, basengozini enkulu yokuthola i-anaplastic astrocytoma. Uma uke waba nokwelashwa ngemisebe ebuchosheni bakho, ungahle ube sengozini enkulu.

Kutholakala kanjani?

I-Anaplastic astrocytomas ayivamile, ngakho-ke udokotela wakho uzoqala ngokuhlolwa ngokomzimba ukukhipha noma yiziphi ezinye izimbangela zezimpawu zakho.

Bangasebenzisa futhi ukuhlolwa kwezinzwa ukubona ukuthi uhlelo lwakho lwezinzwa lusebenza kanjani. Lokhu kuvame ukubandakanya ukuhlola ibhalansi yakho, ukuxhumanisa, kanye nokucabanga kwakho. Ungacelwa ukuthi uphendule imibuzo ethile eyisisekelo ukuze bakwazi ukuhlola inkulumo yakho nokucaca kwengqondo.

Uma udokotela wakho ecabanga ukuthi ungaba nesimila, kungenzeka basebenzise ukuskena kwe-MRI noma ukuskena kwe-CT ukuze ubukeke kangcono ubuchopho bakho. Uma une-astrocytoma ye-anaplastic, lezi zithombe zizokhombisa nosayizi wazo nendawo okuyo.

Ilashwa kanjani?

Kunezinketho eziningi zokwelapha i-anaplastic astrocytoma, kuya ngosayizi nendawo yesimila.

Ukuhlinzwa

Ukuhlinzwa imvamisa kuyisinyathelo sokuqala ekwelapheni i-anaplastic astrocytoma. Kwezinye izimo, udokotela wakho angakwazi ukususa sonke noma iningi le-tumor. Kodwa-ke, ama-astrocytomas e-anaplastic akhula ngokushesha, ngakho-ke udokotela wakho angakwazi kuphela ukususa ngokuphepha ingxenye yesimila.

Ukwelashwa ngamakhemikhali nokwelashwa ngemisebe

Uma isimila sakho singeke sisuswe ngokuhlinzwa, noma kususwe ingxenye yaso kuphela, ungadinga ukwelashwa ngemisebe. Ukwelashwa ngemisebe kubulala amaseli ahlukanisa ngokushesha, athanda ukuba nomdlavuza. Lokhu kuzosiza ukunciphisa isimila noma ukubhubhisa noma yiziphi izingxenye ezingasuswanga ngesikhathi sokuhlinzwa.

Unganikezwa futhi imithi yokwelashwa ngamakhemikhali, efana ne-temozolomide (Temodar), ngesikhathi noma ngemuva kokwelashwa ngemisebe.

Izinga lokusinda nesikhathi sokuphila

Ngokusho kwe-American Cancer Society, amaphesenti wabantu abane-anaplastic astrocytoma abaphila iminyaka emihlanu ngemuva kokutholakala ukuthi:

• Amaphesenti angama-49 kulabo abaneminyaka engama-22 kuya kwengama-44
• Amaphesenti angama-29 kulabo abaneminyaka engama-45 kuya kwengama-54
• Amaphesenti ayi-10 kulabo abaneminyaka engama-55 kuya kwengama-64

Kubalulekile ukukhumbula ukuthi lezi yizilinganiso kuphela. Izici eziningana zingathinta izinga lakho lokusinda, kufaka phakathi:

• ubukhulu nendawo yesimila sakho
• ngabe isimila sisuswe ngokuphelele noma ingxenye ngokuhlinzwa
• noma ngabe isimila sintsha noma siyenzeka kaningi
• impilo yakho yonke

Udokotela wakho angakunika umbono ongcono wesibikezelo sakho ngokusekelwe kulezi zinto.
