What is Leukemia Blood Cancer?
Leukemia is a
type of blood cancer that affects the part of the body from which we have the
ability to fight external infections. Leukemia is caused by an increase in the
number of white blood cells in the body. White blood cells dominate the red
blood cells and also dominate the platelets that play an important role in
keeping the body healthy. Excessive amounts of white blood cells cause great
harm to the body.
Symptoms of leukemia blood cancer
- Cancer related fatigue, chills, dizziness, fatigue, fever and loss of appetite.
- Blood in stool, diarrhea and nausea.
- swollen lymph nodes.
- Unintentional weight loss.
- Rashes or red spots on the body.
- Pain in bones or joints.
Types of leukemia
Acute
myelogenous leukemia- It can occur in adults and children. It is the most
common type of leukemia.
Acute
lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) - It occurs mostly in children.
Chronic
myelogenous leukemia (CML) - It affects most adults.
Chronic lymphocytic
leukemia (CLL) - People over the age of 55 are more affected by it. Rarely does
it affect children. A rare CLL subtype is hairy cell leukemia. Its name is due
to cancerous lymphocytes when viewed with a microscope.
