http://www.animalclinic.com/FELVEASY.htm

Extractions: "Leukemia" means cancer of the white blood cells. This was the first disease associated with the feline leukemia virus (FeLV) and, thus, the source of its name. We often use the term "leukemia" rather loosely to include all of the diseases associated with the virus, even though most are not cancers of the blood. This virus causes many other fatal diseases, in addition to leukemia. 1. The Leukemias are cancers of the white blood cells. 2. Lymphosarcoma is a cancer which begins in lymphoid tissue, such as a lymph node. Almost any tissue may be affected; organs commonly involved include lymph nodes, intestinal tract, kidneys, liver, spinal cord, brain, bone marrow and blood. 3. The Non-Cancerous Diseases include a variety of somewhat unrelated diseases. Anemia, abortion, arthritis, and immune suppression are examples. When the immune system is suppressed, the cat becomes susceptible to many diseases it would ordinarily resist and mild diseases, such as respiratory infections, may become fatal.

Italian Visitors: Clicca qui per le informazioni in italiano sulla FeLV Although feline leukemia remains an incurable viral disease that threatens the lives of thousands of domestic as well as wild cats each year, newer methods for treating this disease have become more readily available. The most effective drugs used today include: ImmunoRegulin Acemannan Interferon Alpha Staph Protein A ... Other Options Please use the navigation buttons above (or text links at the bottom of each page) to find out more about FeLV, these drugs, FeLV-related links and much more. For those who would first like an overview of what feline leukemia (FeLV) is, how it is transmitted, and how to protect their feline babies from it, please visit the Feline Leukemia Virus FAQ from Cornell University. This is a very informative compilation of facts relating to FeLV, and it is recommended reading for those who are just starting their research into feline leukemia.

But in my world I know I am gonna hear it when we see the pediatrician again... the little girl next door went home crying when he (the pediatrician we both see) told her she was getting too fat and had to eat less... (I am sure / hoping those werent his exact words, but thats what SHE got out of it, which, to me, you tell the parents, not the 8 yr old girl...the kids dont bring the food in the house for the most part, the parents do...)

Extractions: by Susan Little, DVM, Diplomate ABVP (Feline) Feline leukemia virus (FeLV) is a retrovirus, a family of viruses which has many members that infect cats and cause disease and death in cats around the world. Another well-known feline retrovirus is the feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV). FeLV and FIV can be found together in the same cat. The prevalence of FeLV in single-cat households is about 3% and can be as high as 11% in stray cat populations. In large multi-cat households and in households where cats roam freely outdoors, the prevalence can reach as high as 70%. Cats roaming in urban areas are more likely to be exposed to FeLV (40%) than cats roaming in rural areas (6%). FeLV has been studied for over 30 years, both for its relevance to the cat population and because it serves as an animal model for some human diseases. Research has established key characteristics of FeLV: it is contagious, it directly causes both fatal cancerous and non-cancerous diseases, it can lie dormant in the bone marrow for a long time, and it can be protected against by vaccination. FeLV is not transmissible to humans or animal species other than the cat family. FeLV is a fragile virus that does not survive in the environment. Ordinary household detergents and bleach effectively kill this virus. There is therefore no danger that cats can be exposed to FeLV in veterinary clinic waiting rooms or exam rooms, or in cages, or at cat shows unless direct contact is made with a positive cat who is shedding virus. Transmission of FeLV requires intimate moist contact. The most common route is contact with infected saliva through grooming, licking, biting and shared dishes and litter pans. FeLV can also be transmitted through a blood transfusion, so all cats who are blood donors are screened for FeLV. Kittens can be infected by their mother before birth or during nursing after birth.

Extractions: Mac users: please note that our site is optimized for the Safari browser Colds, aches, pains, and other ailments Leukemia Originally Published: February 17, 1995 Alice, I have a friend who is diagnosed with Leukemia. I would like to know what it is and what the survival rate for Leukemia is. Good friend Dear Good friend, Leukemia is a general term for several types of cancers which are represented by a proliferation of disorganized white blood cells in the bone marrow. They are called leukemic cells, and impair the production of red blood cells, platelets, and normal white blood cells. Leukemic cells circulate throughout the blood, impairing the function of organs such as the liver, spleen, lymph nodes or brain. Leukemias are either acute or chronic, and are classified by the type of abnormal white blood cell present. Acute cases generally develop more rapidly than chronic cases. If acute leukemia goes untreated it can be fatal within a few weeks or months. However with treatment, life can be prolonged and in some instances a complete cure may be provided. Approximately 6-7 new cases of acute leukemia are diagnosed per 100,000 people per year. Chronic cases include lymphocytic leukemia (excess mature looking lymphocytes), and myeloid leukemia (excess white blood cells called granulocytes). There are approximately 4 new cases of chronic lymphocytic leukemia per 100,000 people each year. It usually occurs in people over 50, and is incurable but is not always fatal. Treatment includes transfusions, antibiotics, and in severe cases, use of anticancer drugs, or radiation therapy. The disease progresses slowly, and more than half of those diagnosed with chronic lymphocytic leukemia survive at least five years from time of diagnosis.

CNN.com - Leukemia Pill Shows Promise Against Stomach Cancer - May 13, 2001
http://cnn.com/2001/HEALTH/05/13/stomach.cancer/index.html

Extractions: CNN Medical Correspondent (CNN) Last fall, 41-year-old Marina Symcox gave up on cancer treatment and began preparing for her funeral. At 38, Symcox had been diagnosed with a gastrointestinal stromal tumor, or GIST a type of stomach cancer that affects as many as 5,000 Americans each year. "I had absolutely been given no hope right from the beginning," she said. Until recently, there was no effective treatment for GIST. But researchers reported Sunday that a new cancer pill approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for a common type of adult leukemia showed encouraging results when used on stomach cancers like those Symcox had. The pill was approved for use against leukemia last week and has been hailed as a major breakthrough. It is taken once a day and causes virtually no side effects.
