Acute myeloid leukemia

The diagnosis of acute lymphoid leukemia requires several tests, because the symptoms is not enough and they are similar to other disease too. It begins with complete blood count (CBC) test which provides the values of blood components. Normal children leukocyte average is 5,000-10,000 mm3, while red blood cells average is 3.8-6.0 x 1012/L, and Hemoglobin level is 95-205 g/L. The test measure also Hematocrit, and platelets. For acute lymphoid leukemia patients, the results change. The red blood…

Leukemia is a type of cancer that usually is associated with children, that affects cells in our blood. However, there is a vast number of adults who have leukemia in the U.S . Lekymiya is the lack of red blood cells which are replaced with white cells that come from the bone marrow. A numerous account of people were diagnosed with leukemia in the past year. According to the American Cancer Society, “43,000 people in the United States are diagnosed with leukemia each year”. Nevertheless there is…

Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia is also called acute lymphoid leukemia and acute lymphocytic leukemia, is a blood cancer that results in immature white cells in the bone marrow. It progresses rapidly and replacing the healthy white cells with immature white cells (leukemia cells). In ALL, leukemia cells are rapidly reproducing which then starts to spread to other parts of the body brain, spinal cord, liver, spleen, and lymph nodes. They are associated with producing more B cells than T cells and…

Blood cancer is the number two largest killer in American’s, second to heart disease. Leukemia and Lymphoma are both blood cancers. Leukemia affects the bone marrow, and other body organs that produce blood. Lymphoma affects the lymph nodes, which carry nutrients between tissues and the blood stream. But, thanks to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society more people are getting medical attention, treatments, support, and the education they require to improve their health. After you learn about how this…

After a number of different tests doctors had thought of it as a stomach virus but after blood had been drawn , the tests had shown , that she was diagnosed with a severe acute lymphoblastic leukemia , a type of blood cancer that has around a twenty-five percent chance for survival for her severe case , so with the risk of her dying in a couple months , even with all the treatments like chemotherapy not helping ,her parents took the…

Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia is cancer of the blood cells and the lymphatic system that are formed in the bone marrow. CLL usually affects older adults, especially those over age 60. People under age 45 rarely develop CLL. (https://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/) In CLL, cancerous blood cells form and crowd out the healthy blood cells in the bone marrow. (http://www.cancer.gov/types/leukemia) The type of leukemia depends on the type of blood cell that has become cancerous. The CLL cells leave…

Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia, known as ALL, is a type of cancer of the bone marrow and blood. This type of cancer develops quickly without treatment and does not have a precise cause. Signs and symptoms to look at for are: aches in the arms, legs or back, bruises for no exact reason, enlarged lymph nodes, fever without an obvious source or a lasting, low-grade fever, headaches, pale skin, pinhead-size red spots under the skin (called petechiae), prolonged bleeding from minor cuts, shortness of…

relatively a consistently high number of white blood cells are a symptom of leukemia. Leukemia is a cancer of the blood where the patient has about 50,000 white blood cells in a single drop of blood. Normally, a drop of a blood can contain anywhere from 7,000 to 25,000 white blood cells at a time. The blood platelet or thrombocytes are the smallest blood cells. Their number ranges from 20,000 to 500,000 per cubic millimeter of blood. Platelets are useful to the body because they contain…

Tons of people die of Blood Cancer/Leukemia each year. Some survive but most don’t. You will find that some people are immune to it but others not. Doctors and scientists have not found an immediate remedy. Blood Cancer is cancer in the blood or bone marrow (which produces blood cells). A person that suffers from leukemia suffers from an unusual production of blood cells usually white blood cells. Although your white blood cells account for only about 1 percent of your blood, their impact is…

Jackie (Xiting) Lin Helping Man and His Best Friend Together Comparative oncology is the study of naturally occurring cancer in animals. Mike and Lois Writel support comparative oncology because it gave their dog a chance to live longer. There are specific genes related to cancer, which means some species are more susceptible to cancer than others; dogs fall in the former. Thus, dogs are potential models, and they share much of our genetic material. Mice are less preferred because their cancer…
