SPEECH about "THE LEUKEMIA"

OM SWASTYASTU

Good Morning everybody

The Honorable lecturer in this class is Mrs. …

And all of my friends in here that I loved

            First of all, let us praise to the Ida Sang Hyang Widhi Wasa, because of his blessing we are able to stand here together with the healthy.

            My name is ......... Today, I’am standing in here, in front all of you because I want to give you some speech about “The Leukemia”. I know all of you in here know about Leukemia. Leukemia is one of the disease that often talk by many people in the world. That’s why, I choose this topic for my speech. This is very important. So please listen to me just for 15 minutes.  

            Indonesia is a developing country that experienced a change in many areas from time to time, including people’s lifestyles in it. This change also makes Indonesia country have epidemiological transition where the pattern of disease shifted from infectious disease to degenerative disease. Before the infectious disease problems can be solved, non-infectious disease are many emerging. One of the non-infectious disease is often called a blood cancer or leukemia.

            Leukimia is part of hematology system and one of hematology disease. The study of the blood and blood-forming tissues. Blood is an essential part of the transport system. Blood consists of two components is 1. Korpuskuler solid elements of the blood is the blood cells are erythrocytes, leukocytes, platelets. 2. Blood plasma is the liquid blood. Leukemia usually attack of leukocytes.

            Leukemia or better known as blood cancer is one type of cancer. Leukemia caused by the increasing number of white blood cells in the blood or bone marrow.
Because the numbers of white blood cells are increasing, the white blood cells that actually abnormally replaces the normal blood cells. Abnormalities makes disrupted cell function. Leukemia or blood cancer is a disease that is very dangerous. Patients with leukemia must be treated immediately. Because if not, the patient can not be helped.
Leukemia can kill the people just for few weeks or few days. This is known as acute leukemia.

            One of sign the person contract the leukemia is has excessive bleeding or injury. If you or a family  or your friend who often suffer injuries or bleeds that are not reasonable, you should be careful. Because it could be that person with leukemia. The other characteristics of leukemia is when a person susceptible to infection. This is because the white blood cells can not function normally so that the infection easily occur. Therefore, in general, patients with leukemia often develop infections such as tonsillitis, sores in the mouth, pneumonia, diarrhea, and other infections. Leukemia can be caused by heredity. Leukemia can reduce from parents to they children. Some studies suggest that the occurrence of leukemia can be caused also by a treatment that uses radiation or chemotherapy is used to kill cancer that previously suffered. But inadvertently it cause leukemia. Radiation is one of  factor that is often blamed as the cause of leukemia. Accusation is unwarranted because the facts support this. The employees who work in an environment full of radiation often develop leukemia.

Likewise, the victims were exposed to radiation as in the case of atomic bombs of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were also suffering from leukemia. Viruses such as HTLV-1, a retrovirus, felin leukemia virus can also cause leukemia. Leukemia cause because of virus usually affects adults.

            Leukemia have 2 types : Acute Leukemia and Chronic Leukemia.

Chronic leukemia: Early in the disease, the leukemia cells can still do some work like as normally white blood cells. The patient may have not any symptoms at first. Doctors detect early chronic leukemia on routine examination. Slowly, worsened chronic leukemia. Because  the number of leukemia cells in the blood increases, people has symptoms such as swollen lymph nodes or infections. When symptoms do occur, are usually mild at first and gradually worsened.

Acute Leukemia: Leukemia cells can not working like white blood cells normal. The number of leukemia cells increases rapidly. Acute leukemia is characterized by a very rapid course of the disease, lethal, and worse. If not treated promptly, the patient may die for few weeks or few days.

Leukemia can be treated by chemotherapy. Sometimes done by radiation. But generally chemotherapy more often been compared to radiation (radiation) to treat leukemia. Other medical efforts to treat leukemia is a bone marrow transplant.

            Leukemia disease can not be transmitted. However, it is advisable to avoid the entry of chemicals into the body, such as dust, chalk, and more. Leukemia prevention is to consume vitamin A, C, fresh fruits and vegetables that are much fiber.

                That’s all about Leukemia. Actually, if we can apply healthy lifestyle is not only Leukemia can be prevented but another disease which more dangerous and killer, can we are prevented. So please check your foods, check your lifestyle, if it’s true, your life and your next generation will be safe. That’s my speech about “The Leukemia”. If there are many mistakes in my speech, I’m so sorry. And the last I just want to say thank you so much for the attention. Have a nice day and OM SANTHI, SANTHI SANTHI OM.
