A Brighter Prognosis for Aplastic Anemia

Science advances and Treatments improve.  Here’s what US News and World Report has to say.

But there’s hope: Considered fatal as recently as two decades ago, aplastic anemia is becoming a far more manageable disease. Advances in drug therapies and improvements in the field of transplantation have slashed the death toll, allowing patients to live longer, fuller lives.

"We are getting better at treating aplastic anemia, either in getting rid of it or treating its symptoms," said Dr. Jaroslaw P. Maciejewski, with the Cleveland Clinic’s Department of Hematologic Oncology and Blood Disorders.
