Service Summary
Leukemia is a cancer of the blood-forming tissues, including the bone marrow and the lymphatic system. It is characterized by the abnormal production of white blood cells, which can be immature or defective. These abnormal cells multiply uncontrollably, interfering with the production of healthy blood cells (red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets). Leukemia is broadly classified into several types, primarily based on the speed of progression (acute, meaning rapid, or chronic, meaning slow) and the type of white blood cell affected (lymphocytic or myeloid). Common symptoms can include fatigue, increased infections, and easy bruising or bleeding. Diagnosis typically involves blood tests and bone marrow examination. Treatment varies widely depending on the specific type and stage of leukemia, and may include chemotherapy, radiation therapy, targeted therapies, or stem cell transplantation.
