PREVIEW
Leukemia is a cancer of the blood, characterized by the rapid growth of abnormal blood cells. This uncontrolled growth takes place in your bone marrow, where most of your body's blood is made. Leukemia cells are usually immature (still developing) white blood cells. The term leukemia comes from the Greek words for "white" (leukos) and "blood" (haima).
Unlike other cancers, leukemia doesn't generally form a mass (tumor) that shows up in imaging tests, such as X-rays or CT scans.
There are many types of leukemia. Some are more common in children, while others are more common in adults. Treatment depends on the type of leukemia and other factors. Order a copy now
