Yintoni i-anaplastic astrocytoma?

I-Astrocytomas luhlobo lwethumba lobuchopho. Zikhula kwiiseli zobuchopho ezimile okweenkwenkwezi ezibizwa ngokuba zii-astrocyte, eziyinxalenye yethishu ekhusela iiseli zemithambo-luvo kwingqondo yakho nakumnqonqo.

Ii-Astrocytomas zihlelwa ngokwamanqanaba azo. I-astrocytomas yeBanga loku-1 kunye neyeBanga lesi-2 zikhula kancinci kwaye zinobungozi, oko kuthetha ukuba abanawo umhlaza. I-astrocytomas yeBanga lesi-3 kunye nelesi-4 zikhula ngokukhawuleza kwaye zimbi, oko kuthetha ukuba banomhlaza.

I-anaplastic astrocytoma yibanga le-3 le-astrocytoma. Ngelixa zinqabile, zinokuba nzulu kakhulu ukuba ziyekwe zinganyangwa. Qhubeka ufunda ukuze ufunde ngakumbi malunga ne-anaplastic astrocytomas, kubandakanya neempawu zabo kunye namanqanaba okusinda kwabantu abanazo.

Ziintoni iimpawu?

Iimpawu ze-anaplastic astrocytoma zinokwahluka ngokujonga ngqo apho likhoyo ithumba, kodwa ngokubanzi zibandakanya:

• intloko ebuhlungu
• ukozela okanye ukozela
• isicaphucaphu okanye ukugabha
• utshintsho kwindlela yokuziphatha
• ukuxhuzula
• ukulahleka kwememori
• iingxaki zombono
• ukulungelelanisa kunye neengxaki zokulinganisela

Ibangelwa yintoni?

Abaphandi abaqinisekanga ukuba yintoni ebangela i-anaplastic astrocytomas. Nangona kunjalo, banokudityaniswa:

• yemfuza
• amajoni omzimba
• Ukuvezwa kwimitha ye-UV kunye neekhemikhali ezithile

Abantu abaneengxaki ezithile zemfuza, ezinje nge-neurofibromatosis yohlobo I (NF1), iLi-Fraumeni syndrome, okanye isifo sokuqina kwemithambo, banomngcipheko ophezulu wokufumana i-anaplastic astrocytoma. Ukuba unonyango lwe-radiation kwingqondo yakho, unokuba semngciphekweni omkhulu.

Kufunyaniswa njani?

I-Anaplastic astrocytomas inqabile, ngoko ugqirha wakho uya kuqala ngovavanyo lomzimba ukulawula naziphi na ezinye izizathu ezinokubangela iimpawu zakho.

Banokusebenzisa uvavanyo lweeurological ukubona ukuba isebenza njani inkqubo yovalo. Oku kuhlala kubandakanya ukuvavanya ibhalansi yakho, ulungelelwaniso, kunye nengqondo. Unokucelwa ukuba uphendule imibuzo esisiseko ukuze bavavanye intetho yakho kunye nokucaca kwengqondo.

Ukuba ugqirha wakho ucinga ukuba unokuba nethumba, baya kuthi basebenzise ukuskena kwe-MRI okanye ukuskena i-CT ukuze bajonge ngcono ingqondo yakho. Ukuba unayo i-anaplastic astrocytoma, le mifanekiso iya kubonisa ubungakanani bayo kunye nendawo echanekileyo kuyo.

Inyangwa njani?

Kukho iindlela ezininzi zokunyanga i-anaplastic astrocytoma, kuxhomekeke kubungakanani kunye nendawo yethumba.

Ugqirha

Utyando ngesiqhelo linyathelo lokuqala lokunyanga i-anaplastic astrocytoma. Kwezinye iimeko, ugqirha wakho unokukwazi ukususa yonke into okanye ininzi yesisu. Nangona kunjalo, i-anaplastic astrocytomas ikhula ngokukhawuleza, ke ugqirha wakho unokukwazi ukususa ngokukhuselekileyo inxalenye yethumba.

I-Chemotherapy kunye nonyango lwemitha

Ukuba ithumba lakho alinakususwa ngotyando, okanye kuphela yinxalenye yalo lisuswe, unokufuna unyango ngemitha. Ukunyanga ngemitha kutshabalalisa iiseli ezahlula ngokukhawuleza, ezihlala zingumhlaza. Oku kuya kunceda ukunciphisa ithumba okanye ukutshabalalisa nawaphi na amalungu angakhange asuswe ngexesha lotyando.

Unokunikwa amayeza e-chemotherapy, anje nge-temozolomide (Temodar), ngexesha okanye emva konyango lwe-radiation.

Izinga lokusinda kunye nexesha lokuphila

Ngokwe-American Cancer Society, iipesenti zabantu abane-anaplastic astrocytoma abahlala iminyaka emihlanu emva kokuba befunyanisiwe:

• Iipesenti ezingama-49 kwabo baneminyaka engama-22 ukuya kwengama-44 ubudala
• Iipesenti ezingama-29 kwabo baneminyaka engama-45 ukuya kuma-54 ubudala
• Iipesenti ezili-10 kwabo baneminyaka engama-55 ukuya kuma-64 ubudala

Kubalulekile ukukhumbula ukuba le yimilinganiselo kuphela. Zininzi izinto ezinokuchaphazela inqanaba lokusinda kwakho, kubandakanya:

• ubungakanani kunye nendawo yethumba lakho
• ingaba ithumba lisuswe ngokupheleleyo okanye ngokuyinxenye kutyando
• ingaba ithumba litsha okanye liyenzeka rhoqo
• impilo yakho iyonke

Ugqirha wakho unokukunika umbono ongcono wokuxelwa kwangaphambili ngokusekwe kwezi zinto.
