Can anything be done to prevent cancer when a person is positive for htlv1 ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Monitoring: The hematologic malignancies unfortunately cannot be prevented, but monitoring is extremely relevant, not only for the potential cancer but also for the fairly common myelopathy. This infection is extremely prevalent globally, and treatments like Mogamulizumab continue to be developed for this infectious agent.
