Leukemia

leukemia, cancer, treatment, make me health Leukemia is a cancer of the blood or bone marrow and is characterized by an abnormal proliferation (production by multiplication) of blood cells, usually white blood cells (leukocytes). It is part of the even broader group of diseases called hematological neoplasms. Leukemia is clinically and pathologically subdivided into several large groups. One of them is division between its acute and chronic forms :

  • Acute leukemia is characterized by the rapid increase of immature blood cells. Acute forms of leukemia are the most common forms of leukemia in children.
  • Chronic leukemia is distinguished by the excessive build up of relatively mature, but still abnormal, white blood cells. Chronic leukemia mostly occurs in older people, but can theoretically occur in any age group.
