Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis (LCH) treatment options vary, but often include steroid therapy.
Steroid Therapy for LCH
-
Prednisone: Healthcare providers may use a steroid like prednisone, especially for skin LCH.
- Mechanism: Prednisone works by hindering the function of white blood cells, which can then affect the LCH cells. In essence, it suppresses the immune system's activity that contributes to the disease.
- Application: It is typically used to reduce inflammation and slow the progression of LCH.
