LEUKEMIA How Blood Cells are Made:
Total Estimated Number of New Leukemia Cases In the United States for
What is Leukemia? It’s cancer of the blood or bone marrow (which produces blood cells). a person who has leukemia suffers from an abnormal production of blood cells, generally leukocytes (white blood cells). The DNA of immature blood cells, mainly white cells, becomes damaged in some way. This abnormality causes the blood cells to grow and divide chaotically. Normal blood cells die after a while and are replaced by new cells which are produced in the bone marrow. The abnormal blood cells do not die so easily, and accumulate, occupying more and more space. As more and more space is occupied by these faulty blood cells there is less and less space for the normal cells - and the sufferer becomes ill. Quite simply, the bad cells crowd out the good cells in the blood.

Doctors divide leukaemia into two main groups based on the speed that the leukaemia develops. Acute leukaemia develops very quickly. Chronic leukaemia tends to develop slowly, usually over months or years. For a long time, it may not cause many symptoms. Doctors further divide these groups depending on the type of white blood cell they affect.
Chronic leukaemias include: . Chronic myeloid leukaemia, which affects myeloid cells (CML) . Chronic lymphocytic leukaemia, which affects lymphocytes (CLL)
