My daughter was twelve months old when we noticed unusual symptoms and body movements in her. We had no family history of autism, but I had sufficient knowledge about this condition. We took her to a doctor at Teknon Medical Center and discussed her symptoms. The doctor started ABA therapy for her, and it worked well. Now she is three years old, and 70% of her symptoms have been reduced. Thanks to her amazing doctor.

I got my tumor removed at Quironsalud Teknon Medical Center. Although it was a benign tumor, I was extremely worried, but the doctors at Teknon Medical Center made everything easy. I had to undergo two sessions of radiation therapy, but I am glad to announce that the tumor is gone. I am extremely grateful to ClinicsonCall for connecting me to Teknon Medical Center.

I recently had a PET MRI Scan at Teknon Medical Center, and I must say that the experience was surprisingly comfortable. From the moment I walked in, the staff made sure I felt at ease, taking the time to explain the procedure and address any concerns. The technicians were incredibly patient and understanding, making sure I was comfortable before starting the scan. The facility itself was clean and well-maintained, contributing to an overall positive experience. I appreciate the care I received at Teknon Medical Center during my scan.

My son was born with scoliosis, and his hunched back deprived him of many activities that a normal kid would do. We started searching for the treatment, but it was unavailable in our country. We decided to search abroad and found out about clinics on call through a friend. We were set up with their coordinator, who suggested we consult Dr. Bartolme Oliver. We did a thorough research on the Internet and decided to visit him. Fortunately, the doctor said it was possible to correct the scoliosis for which he did the surgery. We stayed in Spain for six months, which was worth it. Dr. Oliver was very supportive and helpful throughout our journey.

I recently underwent treatment for a spinal cyst, and I must say that the care I received at Quironsalud Hospital Madrid was exceptional. My symptoms were quite debilitating and had been affecting my quality of life for some time, but the doctors and staff at the hospital were incredibly compassionate and attentive to my needs. The diagnostic process was thorough and efficient, and my doctor explained everything to me so that I knew exactly what was happening. The treatment plan was tailored to my situation, and the surgical procedure went smoothly without complications. After the surgery, I received excellent follow-up care, with regular check-ins to monitor my progress and ensure I was recovering well. I am feeling much better now and can enjoy my daily activities without pain or discomfort. I am satisfied with the care I received and would highly recommend this hospital to anyone in need of similar treatment.

I recently experienced an Intracranial Hematoma, which was a scary and challenging situation to deal with. It started with a sudden and severe headache, followed by nausea and vomiting, and then I started feeling confused and disoriented. I was rushed to the Quironsalud Hospital Madrid, where I underwent a CT scan that showed bleeding in my brain. The doctors quickly diagnosed me with an Intracranial Hematoma and took me into surgery to remove the clot. The procedure was successful, and I am grateful to the skilled medical team that saved my life. The recovery process was not easy, as I had to spend some time in the ICU and then in a rehabilitation center to regain my strength and mobility. I also had to take medication to prevent seizures and manage my pain. Now, several months after the incident, I am still dealing with some residual symptoms, such as headaches and memory problems. However, I am slowly but surely regaining my independence and returning to my normal activities.

I recently underwent MRI-Guided Stereotactic Laser Ablation for a brain tumor at Quironsalud Madrid, and I have to say that the procedure was nothing short of amazing. The team of doctors who performed the procedure were incredibly skilled and knowledgeable, and they explained everything to me in detail so that I knew what to expect. They also ensured that I was comfortable throughout the process and that all my questions were answered. The procedure was quick and painless, and I could go home the same day. I had some mild discomfort and headache for a few days afterwards, but it was nothing that could not be managed with over-the-counter pain medication. I am incredibly grateful for the care and attention that I received.

I was diagnosed with periventricular leukomalacia (PVL) after my premature birth. Initially, my parents were very worried about my health and future development, but with the help of my doctors and therapists at Quironsalud Hospital Valencia, I have been able to make progress and reach important milestones. Living with PVL has its challenges, including motor difficulties, speech delays, and learning disabilities. However, I have received great support from my family, caregivers, and medical team, who have worked tirelessly to provide me with the best possible care and interventions. Although PVL is a lifelong condition, I am determined to keep pushing myself and achieving my goals. I am grateful for the love and care I have received, and I am optimistic about my future. My team at Quironsalud Hospital Valencia is very supportive.

I was diagnosed with an AVM a few months ago, and it was quite scary to learn about this condition. However, I am very grateful to have been able to receive proper treatment and care from my doctors at Quironsalud Hospital Valencia. Initially, I did not know much about AVMs and was concerned about what the diagnosis would mean for my health. My doctors did a great job explaining the condition to me and the treatment options available. They recommended that I undergo embolization followed by surgery to remove the AVM. The procedure itself was not too difficult, and I was able to return home the next day. The recovery process was a bit more challenging, but my medical team gave me great support and care. They made sure that I was comfortable and provided me with all the necessary information. Now that I have fully recovered, I feel grateful for the care I received and the successful treatment. I feel much better and am able to resume my daily activities without any problems.

As a patient diagnosed with an aneurysm of the cerebral artery, I wanted to share my experience to help others who may be going through the same thing. Firstly, the diagnosis itself was a shock. I had been experiencing some mild headaches, but I never expected to be told that I had a bulge in the blood vessel in my brain. The medical team at Quironsalud Valencia was very reassuring, and they explained the condition to me in detail, which helped me understand what was happening. The treatment process was also smooth. I was offered two options: surgery or endovascular coiling. After careful consideration, I chose endovascular coiling. The procedure was performed under local anesthesia, and I could go home the next day. I experienced some headaches and fatigue for a few days, but overall, it was smooth. I had to take some time off work to rest, but after a week or so, I could resume my normal activities.

I recently underwent a discectomy to reconstruct my intervertebral cartilage, and I could not be happier with the results. Prior to the surgery, I was experiencing chronic back pain and limited mobility. My doctor at Quironsalud Hospital Valencia recommended this procedure to address the root cause of my discomfort. The surgery itself was relatively straightforward, and my recovery time was minimal. Within a few weeks, I noticed a significant improvement. I no longer experience the constant pain I had grown accustomed to, and I can move around more freely. The reconstruction surgery has truly been life-changing for me. I can now enjoy activities I had previously given up on due to my back pain. I would highly recommend this procedure to anyone who is experiencing similar issues.

Although the diagnosis was initially difficult to accept, I felt grateful that my doctor caught it early and we could start treatment immediately. I underwent surgery to remove the tumor, followed by radiation therapy. The treatment was challenging, but I had an excellent medical team who supported me throughout the process.

Benefits of Choosing Spanish Hospitals for Acute Myeloid Leukemia Treatment

Spanish hospitals have a multidisciplinary team of medical professionals who work together to provide the best possible care for AML patients. This team includes hematologists, oncologists, nurses, pharmacists, and other healthcare professionals who work collaboratively to ensure that each patient receives comprehensive care.

Best Clinics for Acute Myeloid Leukemia Treatment in Spain

Quironsalud Marbella Clinic has cutting-edge medical technology, including advanced imaging equipment and high-tech surgical facilities.
Sant Joan de Deu Clinic has a dedicated International Patient Services team that assists patients worldwide with travel arrangements, visa applications, and other logistical matters. The team also provides interpretation services and can help patients navigate the healthcare system in Spain.

Experienced Specialists for Acute Myeloid Leukemia in Spain

Dr. Luis Madero Lopez is a mention-worthy oncohematologist with an exceptional approach to treating different blood cancers. He has authored about 200+ articles in global magazines and 200 in public magazines.
Dr. Aranzazu Alonso has about 10 years of experience in treating hematological disorders. He has done active research in the treatment of aggressive blood cancers and has participated in several Phase II and III clinical trials with drugs as a Principal Investigator.

Diagnosis of Acute Myeloid Leukemia in Spain: Blood Tests and Bone Marrow Biopsy

Diagnosis of Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) in Spain typically involves blood tests and bone marrow biopsy. These tests are performed by a hematologist, a doctor who specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of blood disorders. Here is more information about these diagnostic tests:

Blood Tests

Blood tests are the first step in diagnosing AML. The doctor will take a sample of your blood and send it to a laboratory for analysis. The lab will examine the blood cells for abnormalities, such as the presence of blast cells.

Blast cells are immature white blood cells that are a hallmark of AML. In addition to blast cells, the lab may also look for other abnormalities, such as low red blood cell count, low platelet count, and abnormal levels of certain chemicals in the blood.

Bone Marrow Biopsy

If the blood tests suggest the presence of AML, a bone marrow biopsy may be performed. During this procedure, the doctor will use a needle to extract a sample of bone marrow from your hip bone. The sample will be sent to a lab for analysis.

The lab will examine the bone marrow cells for abnormalities, such as the presence of blast cells. The lab may also perform genetic testing on the bone marrow sample to look for specific mutations associated with AML.

Treatment Options for Acute Myeloid Leukemia in Spain

Treatment options for AML in Spain depend on various factors, such as the patient's age, overall health, and the subtype of AML they have.The following are some common treatment options for AML in Spain:

Chemotherapy

Chemotherapy is the most common treatment for AML in Spain. Chemotherapy drugs are designed to kill cancer cells in the body, including those in the bone marrow. Different chemotherapy regimens are used based on the subtype of AML and the patient's overall health. The drugs can be given orally, intravenously, or as an injection.

Stem cell transplant

A stem cell transplant is another treatment option for AML in Spain. This procedure involves replacing the patient's diseased bone marrow with healthy bone marrow. The bone marrow can be collected from the patient (autologous transplant) or a donor (allogeneic transplant). Stem cell transplant is often done in conjunction with chemotherapy to maximize the chance of remission.

Targeted therapy

Targeted therapy is a newer treatment option for AML in Spain. Targeted therapy drugs are designed to attack specific proteins or genes in cancer cells. Some targeted therapies have been approved for use in AML, such as midostaurin and enasidenib.

Supportive care

Supportive care is also an essential component of AML treatment in Spain. Patients with AML may require blood transfusions to manage symptoms and side effects of treatment. Supportive care can also include medications to manage pain, infections, and other complications of AML.

FAQs

What is the survival rate of acute myeloid leukemia?

The survival rate of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) depends on several factors, including age, overall health, and the subtype of AML. According to the American Cancer Society, the overall five-year survival rate for adults with AML is around 30%. However, the survival rate can vary widely depending on individual circumstances.

What is the leading cause of acute myeloid leukemia?

The exact cause of AML is unknown, but it is thought to be caused by genetic mutations in blood stem cells that cause them to develop into abnormal white blood cells. Some risk factors for AML include exposure to radiation or certain chemicals, smoking, and previous chemotherapy or radiation therapy for another cancer.

Is AML the deadliest cancer?

AML is one of the most aggressive types of blood cancer and can be life-threatening if not treated promptly. However, it is not considered the deadliest cancer overall. The deadliest cancers are typically those that are difficult to detect and treat in their later stages, such as pancreatic cancer or lung cancer.

What are the 3 stages of AML leukemia?

Unlike other types of cancer, AML does not typically have specific stages to describe its progression. Instead, AML is usually classified based on its subtype and risk factors, which can help determine the best treatment approach. However, some doctors may use a system called the French-American-British (FAB) classification, which divides AML into subtypes based on the appearance of the cells under a microscope. The FAB classification includes three main subtypes: M1, M2, and M3.
