Leukemia
Leukemia is a type of cancer that affects the blood and bone marrow. It is the most common form of cancer in children and teenagers, but it can also affect adults. Leukemia occurs when the body produces too many abnormal white blood cells, which can interfere with the body's ability to fight infections.
There are four main types of leukemia: acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), acute myeloid leukemia (AML), chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), and chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). Symptoms of leukemia can include fatigue, fever, night sweats, and weight loss. Treatment options for leukemia can include chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and stem cell transplantation.
Early Detection is Key
Early detection is key when it comes to treating leukemia. It is important to be aware of the symptoms and to seek medical attention if you experience any of them. If you are diagnosed with leukemia, your doctor will work with you to develop a treatment plan that is tailored to your individual needs. With the right treatment, many people with leukemia are able to live long and healthy lives.
