Leukemia Treatment Cost: Italy, Naples vs Turkey

Introduction & Clinical Importance

Leukemia treatment targets blood cancers like acute or chronic forms using chemotherapy, targeted therapies, or bone marrow transplants (BMT). Applied when abnormal white blood cells proliferate, it restores normal blood function but may cause fatigue, infection risks, and long-term monitoring needs, impacting quality of life.
