What are the Treatment Options for FA-Related Cancer?
Treating cancer in FA patients is challenging due to their underlying condition. Conventional chemotherapy and radiation therapy can be particularly toxic because of the DNA repair defect. Treatment strategies often involve reduced-intensity regimens and a reliance on hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) to restore healthy bone marrow function. Close monitoring and regular screenings are essential for early detection and management of cancers in FA patients.
