Minyaka yonke uSepthemba ubhekwa njengeNyanga Yokuqwashisa Ngomdlavuza Wegazi emhlabeni jikelele. Ukuqwashisa ngezinhlobo ezahlukene zomdlavuza wegazi kanye nomthelela wawo kubalulekile ukuze kutholakale ngokushesha, ukwelashwa okusebenzayo, nokusekelwa kweziguli nemindeni yazo.

"Kubalulekile futhi ukugcizelela ukuthi inqubekelaphambili ocwaningweni nasekwelashweni ikuthuthukise kakhulu ukubikezelwa kweziguli eziningi ezinomdlavuza wegazi," kusho uDkt Niti Krishna Raizada, uMqondisi Omkhulu, I-Medical Oncology & Hemato-Oncology, Izibhedlela zaseFortis, e-Bangalore.

UDkt Byreddy Poojitha, udokotela we-Hemato-oncologist kanye noDokotela we-BMT, Izibhedlela ze-CARE, i-Banjara Hills, e-Hyderabad, wachaza ukuthi nakuba i-leukemia, i-lymphoma, ne-myeloma kuyizinhlobo ezaziwa kakhulu zomdlavuza wegazi, kunezinhlobo ezimbalwa zomdlavuza wegazi ezingaziwa kakhulu nazo ezifanele ukunakwa.

Ake sibheke ezinye zazo. 

I-Myelodysplastic Syndromes (MDS)
I-MDS iyiqembu lezifo zegazi ezingavamile lapho umongo wethambo ungakhiqizi amangqamuzana egazi anempilo anele. Lokhu kungaholela ekusweleni igazi, izifo, nezinkinga zokopha. I-MDS ingathuthukela ku-acute leukemia kwezinye izimo, okwenza ukuxilongwa kusenesikhathi nokwelashwa kube bucayi.

I-Myeloproliferative Neoplasms (MPNs)
Ama-MPN ayiqembu lomdlavuza wegazi elibandakanya ukukhiqizwa ngokweqile kwamangqamuzana egazi emnkantsheni wamathambo. Izimo ezifana ne-polycythemia vera, i-thrombocythemia ebalulekile, ne-myelofibrosis ziwela ngaphansi kwalesi sigaba. Ama-MPN angaba nomthelela omkhulu kukhwalithi yempilo yomuntu ngenxa yezimpawu ezinjengokukhathala, amahlule egazi, kanye nengozi eyandayo ye-leukemia.

I-Hary Cell Leukemia (HCL)
I-HCL iwuhlobo olungavamile kakhulu lwe-leukemia oluthinta ama-B cell. Ithola igama layo ekuqageleni okufana nezinwele ebusweni bamangqamuzana omdlavuza lapho ibhekwa ngesibonakhulu. Nakuba kubhekwa njengomdlavuza okhula kancane, i-HCL isengaba inselele ukuyelapha.

Waldenström Macroglobulinemia
Lolu uhlobo olungavamile lwe-lymphoma oluthinta umnkantsha negazi. Kuhilela ukukhiqizwa ngokweqile kweprotheni ebizwa ngokuthi i-immunoglobulin M (IgM), engaholela ezimpawini ezinjengokukhathala, ukopha, nezinkinga zezinzwa.

I-Chronic Eosinophilic Leukemia (CEL)
I-CEL iwuhlobo oluncane olungavamile lwe-myeloid leukemia engapheli ethinta ngokuyinhloko ama-eosinophil, uhlobo lwengqamuzana elimhlophe legazi. Kungabangela izinhlobonhlobo zezimpawu, okuhlanganisa ukuqubuka kwesikhumba, ukukhathala, nokulimala kwezitho zomzimba.

Nazi ezinye izindlela zokuqwashisa nokweseka labo abathintwe umdlavuza wegazi:

• Imikhankaso yezemfundo: Izinhlangano ezizinikele ekuqwashiseni ngomdlavuza wegazi zivame ukuqhuba imikhankaso yokufundisa ukwazisa umphakathi ngalezi zinhlobo zomdlavuza wegazi ezingaziwayo.
• Ukuqoqwa kwezimali kanye neminikelo: Ukunikela ocwaningweni lomdlavuza wegazi nezinhlangano eziwusekelayo kungasiza ekuthuthukiseni ukwelashwa futhi kunikeze usizo ezigulini nasemindenini yazo.
• Iminikelo yegazi kanye nomnkantsha: Cabangela ukuba umnikeli wegazi noma womnkantsha, njengoba le minikelo ingasindisa ukuphila kwabantu abanomdlavuza wegazi.
• Amaqembu okusekela: Ukujoyina noma ukukhuthaza amaqembu okusekela ezigulini ezinomdlavuza wegazi kanye nemindeni yazo kunganikeza ukusekelwa ngokomzwelo nolwazi olubalulekile.
• Ubumeli: Gwema ukwenyuswa kwezimali zocwaningo lomdlavuza wegazi kanye nokufinyelela okuthuthukisiwe kokunakekelwa kweziguli.

Inyanga Yokuqwashisa Ngomdlavuza Wegazi iyisikhumbuzo sokuthi umdlavuza wegazi uhlasela abantu abahlukahlukene, futhi ukuqwashisa ngazo zonke izinhlobo zomdlavuza wegazi kubalulekile ekuthuthukiseni izimpilo zalabo abahlaselwe yilezi zifo.
