Umdlavuza Wamathambo

Uyini umdlavuza wamathambo?
Lesi isakhiwo esiyingqayizivele sokuthwala, uhlaka, kanye nohlaka lwamathambo omuntu. Kodwa-ke, ngisho nalesi simiso esibonakala siqinile singase sibekwe eceleni futhi sibe yisiphephelo sezimila eziyingozi. Izimila eziyingozi zingakhula ngokuzimela futhi zingadalwa ngokuvuselelwa kwezimila ezingengozini.

Ezimweni eziningi, uma sikhuluma ngomdlavuza wamathambo, sisho lokho okubizwa ngokuthi umdlavuza we-metastatic, lapho isimila sikhula kwezinye izitho zomzimba (amaphaphu, amabele, i-prostate) futhi sisakazeka esigabeni sokugcina, okuhlanganisa nezicubu zamathambo. Umdlavuza wamathambo ngezinye izikhathi ubizwa ngokuthi umdlavuza ovela kumaseli e-hematopoietic omnkantsha wamathambo, kodwa awuveli ethanjeni ngokwalo. Lokhu kungaba yi-multiple myeloma noma i-leukemia. Kodwa umdlavuza wamathambo wangempela uvela ethanjeni futhi uvame ukubizwa ngokuthi i-sarcoma (isimila esibi "sikhula" ethanjeni, emisipheni, ku-fiber noma ezicutshini zamafutha nasemithanjeni yegazi).
