There are two phases of treatment for AML. The first phase is called induction therapy. The purpose of induction therapy is to kill as many of the leukemia cells as possible and induce a remission, a state in which there is no visible evidence of disease and blood counts are normal.
Bee Gees singer Robin Gibb died of kidney failure, not cancer as was widely reported, his son Robin John has said. The popstarâs son revealed: âIt wasnât the cancer that killed my father; those reports are wrong.
Itâs hard to imagine clearer proof that Gibb and his fellow Bee Gees â older brother Barry, 65, who survives him, and Robinâs twin, Maurice, who died at 53 in 2003 â have carved a place for themselves in popular culture more lasting even than their long-lasting band.
