| leukemia | Cancer that begins in developing cells in the bone marrow Leukemia occurs when immature or mature cells multiply in an uncontrolled manner in the bone marrow It is classified as lymphocytic or myeloid, according to the type of cell that is multiplying abnormally, and either acute, signifying rapidly progressing disease with a predominance of highly immature (blastic) cells, or chronic, which denotes slowly progressing disease with greater numbers of more mature cells | en | |||

| leukemia | From the Greek meaning "white blood" Leukemia is a cancer of a marrow cell The disease appears in one of four major forms Acute lymphocytic or acute myelogenous leukemia characterized by the uncontrolled proliferation and accumulation of abnormal immature cells, referred to as leukemic blasts These cells fill the marrow spaces and enter the blood Chronic myelogenous leukemia and chronic lymphocytic leukemia are less rapidly progressive The former, however, requires treatment in nearly all cases at the time of diagnosis, whereas the later may, in some cases, be non-progressive for long periods | en | |||

| leukemia | Cancer of white blood cells Acute leukemias are characterized by the presence of "blasts," which are immature white blood cells Large quantities of blasts generally overgrow the bone marrow, leaving very little space for normal bone marrow cells This type generally requires immediate treatment Chronic leukemias are those characterized by a large and uncontrolled growth of more mature white blood cells These types of leukemias tend not to progress as rapidly, and treatment is often milder than that of acute leukemias | en | |||

| leukemia | a type of cancer of the blood, that causes weakness and sometimes death (leukos + -aimia (from haima )). Cancer of blood-forming tissues with high levels of leukocytes. Radiation exposure and hereditary susceptibility are factors in some cases. In acute leukemias, anemia, fever, bleeding, and lymph-node swelling develop rapidly. Acute lymphocytic leukemia, found mostly in children, was once over 90% fatal in six months. Drug therapy can now cure more than half these children. Acute myelogenous (granulocytic) leukemia, found mostly in adults, has frequent remissions and recurrences, and few patients survive long. Chronic myelogenous leukemia most often begins in the 40s; weight loss, low fever, weakness, and other symptoms may not develop immediately. Chemotherapy helps the symptoms but may not prolong life. Chronic lymphocytic leukemia, mostly in the elderly, may be inactive for years. Survival rates are better than in myelogenous leukemia; most deaths are caused by infection or hemorrhage | en | |||
