What Can People with Fanconi Anemia Expect?
Labels Fanconi Anemia
FA is a fatal disorder if left untreated and is sometimes fatal at an early
age even with treatment. If a patient undergoes a bone marrow transplant
along with other supportive treatments and has any severe birth defects
corrected in a manner that sustains the person’s life, then the prognosis is
improved. With the best medical care and circumstances, a person with
FA may live about 30 years. Making a diagnosis of FA early in the course
of the disease improves the prognosis, as well as early cancer detection.
However, the quality of life may be severely affected by frequent medical
tests and procedures, complications such as birth defects or cancer, and
various possible physical limitations.
