Leukemia is a type of cancer that affects the blood and bone marrow, causing an abnormal increase in white blood cells. There are several types of leukemia, including acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), acute myeloid leukemia (AML), chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), and chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). Symptoms may include fatigue, fever, easy bruising or bleeding, frequent infections, and swollen lymph nodes. Treatment options depend on the type and stage of leukemia but may include chemotherapy, targeted therapy, radiation therapy, and stem cell transplantation. Early detection and prompt treatment are crucial for improving outcomes in leukemia patients.
