APL treatment and side effects
APL develops quickly, so fast diagnosis and treatment are really important.
Treatment explained
There are lots of different options depending on the type of APL you have. Your doctor will also make a plan for before and after your treatment.
Treatment side effects
Different people will experience different side effects, and you might not get all, or even any of them.
APL relapse
Relapse can be a worrying time, but there are more treatment options available.
Supportive care
As well as active treatment for your illness, you’ll need other treatments to support your body through the process.
Thank you to Consultant Haematologists Dr Richard Dillon, Dr Steven Knapper and Professor David Grimwade, as well as Research Nurse Anita Immanuel for checking our information on APL.
