October 1, 2001 MEDIA CONTACT: Vanessa Wasta PHONE: E-MAIL: wastava@jhmi.edu Drug Therapy Leads To Long-Term Remissions In Aplastic Anemia Patients Researchers at Johns Hopkins, Hahnemann University, and University of Maryland report sustained, treatment-free remissions in studies of a novel drug therapy approach to treating a deadly blood disorder known as aplastic anemia. The October 2, 2001, report in the Annals of Internal Medicine describes 19 aplastic anemia patients treated with high doses of the chemotherapy drug cyclophosphamide. After an average follow-up of more than two years, 14 patients remain disease-free with no additional therapy. Two patients continue to require transfusions, and three patients died from infections following treatment. "Patients treated with high-dose cyclophosphamide alone typically take a longer time to recover normal blood counts than patients treated with other standard treatments; nevertheless, cyclophosphamide may offer a better chance for achieving long-term remission," says Robert Brodsky, M.D., assistant professor of oncology and medicine at Johns Hopkins and lead author of the study. Two years after receiving the cyclophosphamide therapy, 73 percent of patients no longer required blood transfusions. Nearly four years post treatment, 65 percent of those treated were in complete remission and had not relapsed or developed other blood disorders. In aplastic anemia, the patient's immune system attacks the bone marrow, causing it to stop forming blood cellswhite immune system cells, red oxygen-carrying cells, and clotting cells known as platelets. Without these vital cells, patients are susceptible to life-threatening infections, bleeding and organ failure. Aplastic anemia is a rapidly fatal disease. Without treatment, 80 percent of patients die within two years.

There are also inherited forms of the disease, but they are not dealt with in this section of the website. Read Our Booklet credits privacy Registered charity 216032. © Leukaemia Research Fund 2004

This page has been accessed more than times since May 29, 1996. Do I need to spay/neuter my pet? How about descenting? Declawing? Spaying or neutering: yes Ferrets intended as pets must be neutered or spayed. Neutering drastically reduces the odor of a male, prevents him from marking his territory with smelly slime, and makes him less aggressive (males in season may kill other ferrets, even females). Spaying saves a female's life, since once she goes into heat she will need to be bred or she will almost certainly die of anemia. However, many people disagree with the common practice of performing the surgery at a very early age, and prefer to wait until the ferret is at least six months old and has reached nearly full size. It should be done before the first time the ferret would go into heat, but apart from that there's no rush. A female can be spayed even after she goes into heat, but if she's been in heat for a month or more, your vet should do a blood test before the surgery. Females can be brought out of heat without becoming pregnant with a hormone injection or by breeding with a vasectomized male, either of which will lead to a false pregnancy which will last long enough to let her be spayed. Neither one is a good long-term solution, though.
