The cancerous cells in leukemia are the white blood cells (leukocytes). About 31,000 new cases of leukemia are diagnosed in the United States each year. Acute myelogenous leukemia and chronic lymphocytic leukemia are the most common types in adults. How Leukemia Develops Leukemia develops when a blood cell undergoes a transformation into a malignant cell one capable of uncontrolled growth. Leukemia cells begin to multiply in the marrow, and as they do so they crowd out the normal blood cells those that carry oxygen to the body's tissues, fight infections, and help wounds heal by clotting the blood. Leukemia can also spread from the marrow to other parts of the body, including the lymph nodes, brain, liver, and spleen. Blood-cell development begins in the marrow with the formation of stem cells. These primitive cells are capable of developing into any kind of blood cell. Each of these types of cell has a very specific job in the functioning of the body.

Click Over the Profiler Link Below to Find Out About State of the Art Treatment Options for Leukemia Leukemia Written by Ila Shah-Reddy, M.D. F.A.C.P. and Haythem Ali, M.D. 1135 W. University Dr. , Suite 246 Rochester Hills, Mich 48307 This article was written to give patients a general overview of this class of diseases. The leukemias are cancers of the blood forming cells. Acute leukemia involves the most primitive of these types of cells. This class of cancer leads to an overproduction of a blood cells that have similar characteristics (clones). Clonal cells share two common features that lead to the symptoms of leukemia. 1) The cells divide without control and fail to respond to the signals that tell them to stop. 2) These cells have a longer life than normal cells and gradually accumulate in the bone marrow. TREATMENT The treatment of leukemia continues to advance. Improved understanding of the basic disease process as well as better drugs and supportive care are leading to more cures and remissions. The outlook is much better now then it was even ten years ago. The biotechnology revolution offers hope of even better treatments in the near future. Treatment is divided into two categories 1) supportive and 2) chemotherapy treatment with chemical drugs. Supportive Care refers to treatments which help the patient, but do not attempt to fight the leukemia. These include:

At 38, Symcox had been diagnosed with a gastrointestinal stromal tumor, or GIST a type of stomach cancer that affects as many as 5,000 Americans each year. "I had absolutely been given no hope right from the beginning," she said. Until recently, there was no effective treatment for GIST. But researchers reported Sunday that a new cancer pill approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for a common type of adult leukemia showed encouraging results when used on stomach cancers like those Symcox had. The pill was approved for use against leukemia last week and has been hailed as a major breakthrough. It is taken once a day and causes virtually no side effects.

FELINE LEUKEMIA VIRUS DISEASES Feline leukemia virus infection was, until recently, the most common fatal disease of cats. Because we can now protect cats with a leukemia virus vaccine, we are seeing fewer cases of the disease. However, it still remains a major cause of death in cats. "Leukemia" means cancer of the white blood cells. This was the first disease associated with the feline leukemia virus (FeLV) and, thus, the source of its name. We often use the term "leukemia" rather loosely to include all of the diseases associated with the virus, even though most are not cancers of the blood. This virus causes many other fatal diseases, in addition to leukemia. What diseases are caused by the FeLV? There are three major disease categories associated with the FeLV: 1. The Leukemias are cancers of the white blood cells. 2. Lymphosarcoma is a cancer which begins in lymphoid tissue, such as a lymph node. Almost any tissue may be affected; organs commonly involved include lymph nodes, intestinal tract, kidneys, liver, spinal cord, brain, bone marrow and blood. 3. The Non-Cancerous Diseases include a variety of somewhat unrelated diseases. Anemia, abortion, arthritis, and immune suppression are examples. When the immune system is suppressed, the cat becomes susceptible to many diseases it would ordinarily resist and mild diseases, such as respiratory infections, may become fatal.

80. Childhood Cancer: Leukemia The term leukemia refers to cancers of the white blood cells (also called leukocytes or WBCs). ANLL is also called acute myelogenous leukemia (AML). http://kidshealth.org/parent/medical/cancer/cancer_leukemia.html

KidsHealth Parents Medical Problems The term leukemia refers to cancers of the white blood cells (also called leukocytes or WBCs ). When a child has leukemia, large numbers of abnormal white blood cells are produced in the bone marrow. These abnormal white cells crowd the bone marrow and flood the bloodstream, but they cannot perform their proper role of protecting the body against disease because they are defective. As leukemia progresses, the cancer interferes with the body's production of other types of blood cells, including red blood cells and platelets. This results in anemia (low numbers of red cells) and bleeding problems, in addition to the increased risk of infection caused by white cell abnormalities. Initially, abnormal leukemia cells appear only in the bone marrow and blood , but later they may spread elsewhere, including the lymph nodes, spleen , liver, brain , and testes. Types of Childhood Leukemia In general, leukemias are classified into acute (rapidly developing) and chronic (slowly developing) forms. In children, about 98% of leukemias are acute. Childhood leukemias are also divided into acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) or acute nonlymphocytic leukemia (ANLL), depending on whether they involve specific white cells called
