Ukukhutshwa kweMedia: Iqela lomhlaza wegazi kumashumi amahlanu eminyaka yophando lonyango olungcono
Kwiminyaka engamashumi amahlanu ukuya phambili, iqela lokuzithandela leengcali zomhlaza wegazi liyaqhubeka nokutshintsha indlela umhlaza onyangwa ngayo kwaye namhlanje ucinezela ukuba izigulana ezininzi zifikelele kulingo lwezonyango.
Kwiminyaka engamashumi amahlanu ngoku, iqela lentsebenziswano lidibanisa iingcali zomhlaza wegazi ezivela kulo lonke elase-Australia naseNew Zealand ukuba bazinikele ngexesha labo kwaye baqhube iimvavanyo zeklinikhi ukutshintsha indlela esiphathwa ngayo eso sifo. Ukungenzi nzuzo I-Australasia Leukemia kunye neQela leLymphoma (ALLG) ibe negalelo kwinto ngoku yonyango olusemgangathweni lwezinye zomhlaza wegazi kwaye ziqhubeke nokuqhuba utshintsho lokufikelela okukhulu kunyango olutsha nolusebenzayo kwizigulana.
Yonke inkqubela phambili yonyango ekhoyo namhlanje yenziwe yanokwenzeka kuphela ngophando lolingo lwezonyango. Unjingalwazi uJudith Trotman, uSihlalo weKomiti yeeNgcebiso zezeNzululwazi ye-ALLG uyacacisa, “Kwiminyaka engamashumi amahlanu eyadlulayo, uninzi lwabaguli abanomhlaza wegazi basweleke kwiinyanga nje ezimbalwa. Ngoku, uninzi luza kuphila ubomi obuphantse bube buqhelekile.”
“I-ALLG, elona qela lidala lovavanyo lwentsebenziswano e-Australia naseNew Zealand (ANZ), lichithe amashumi amahlanu eminyaka kwinqanaba lophuhliso lwehlabathi lokunyanga umhlaza wegazi,” utshilo uNjingalwazi Trotman. "Kwizibhedlele zovavanyo ezingama-83 kulo lonke ilizwe kunye neshumi eNew Zealand, i-ALLG ixhase ngaphezulu kwe-12,000 yezigulana ezithe zanegalelo, kwaye zaxhamla kulingo lwethu lwezonyango, ngenkqubela engaqhelekanga yokuphila."
Unjingalwazi uTrotman uthi ngentsebenziswano yamazwe ngamazwe ye-ALLG kunye ne-UK, i-US kunye namazwe amaninzi aseYurophu, impembelelo yeQela inamazinga okuphila aphindwe kathathu kwizigulane ezine-Hodgkin & Non-Hodgkin lymphomas. Ngaphandle kokunikezela ngonyango olungcono kakhulu ngoku kwiindidi ezininzi zomhlaza wegazi, uNjingalwazi Trotman uthi kukho imfuno eqhubekayo engafezekiyo yokuba isicwangciso sophando se-ALLG sijolise kuyo.
Uninzi lwabantu luvile ngomhlaza wegazi i-leukemia, i-lymphoma kunye ne-myeloma, nangona kunjalo umceli mngeni wokufumana unyango olungcono kwaye ekugqibeleni unyango lwabo bonke lukhulu kakhulu njengoko kukho iindidi ezili-180 ezahlukeneyo zomhlaza wegazi. Ngokomzekelo, iAcute myeloid leukemia (AML), umhlaza wegazi okhula ngokukhawuleza ochaphazela iiseli ezingekakhuli zomongo, iselolona hlobo lubulalayo lweleukemia.
Kwihlabathi lokuqala kulingo lwezonyango lwe-AML, uphononongo lweQela le-AMLM26 INTERCEPT lujolise ekutshintsheni kakhulu indlela olumiselwa ngayo unyango lwe-AML. Ulingo, olusandul' ukuvulwa indawo yokuqala yesibhedlele, luyilelwe ukwazisa uluhlu lwamayeza amatsha kunye nobuchwepheshe obutsha ukunceda ekubhaqweni kwangaphambili kwe-AML kwakhona. Lo ngummandla nje omnye wemfuno engafezekiswanga iQela elijongene nayo ukuzisa iindlela zonyango ezingcono kwizigulana.
Inkokeli kwiFederal Government's Blood Cancer Taskforce, i-ALLG ikwayila indlela eqhelekileyo yokusebenza kwezonyango abaguli abanomhlaza wegazi ukuqinisekisa ukuba banonyango olungcono olukhoyo nokuba bahlala phi na.
Ukongeza, kwizigulana ezihlala kude nezibhedlele ezikhulu zedolophu, iQela eliSebenzayo le-ALLG's Rural and Regional Hematology Working Working Group lijolise ekwandiseni iiteletrials ukuze kubonelelwe ngolingo lwezonyango lwe-ALLG kwizigulane ebezingenakukwazi ukuthatha inxaxheba ngenxa yomgama wokuhamba.
Ukujonga kwikamva langoku, ubulungu be-ALLG beengcali zomhlaza wegazi bujoyina uguqulo kunyango olujoliswe kuyo; ukufunda ngeyona ndlela ingcono yokuphucula ukusetyenziswa kweendlela ezisindisa ubomi ezisebenzisa amajoni omzimba omzimba. Eli qela nalo liyandisa Ubhaliso lweSizwe loMhlaza weGazi kunye ne-biobank yegazi kunye neesampulu zethishu ukuze abaphandi bawuqonde ngcono umhlaza wegazi.
Lo msebenzi uza kubonelela ngonyango olujoliswe ngakumbi oluneziphumo ebezingalindelekanga ezincinci ukuze izigulana zingaphili nje ixesha elide kodwa zibenomgangatho wobomi obungcono. Konke oku kunokwenzeka kuphela ukuba izigulane zikwazi ukufikelela ngcono ekuthatheni inxaxheba kwiimvavanyo zeklinikhi kwaye ukuba kukho ukuxhaswa okuqhubekayo kwiziseko zovavanyo kunye noqeqesho kwisizukulwana esilandelayo sabaphandi bomhlaza wegazi.
Ndwendwela iwebhusayithi ye-ALLG ukuze ufunde ngakumbi malunga I-5 yeminyaka yempembelelo kumhlaza wegazi.
