Leukemia is a cancer of the white bloo d cells. Leukemias
are grouped by how quickly the disease develops (acute or chronic) as well as by
the type of blood cell that is affected. People with leukemia are at significantly
increased risk for developing infections, anemia, and bleeding. Diagnosis of leukemia
is supported by findings of the medical history and examination, and examining blood
under a microscope. Leukemia cells can be detected and further classified with a
bone marrow aspiration and/or biopsy. Most patients with leukemia are treated with
chemotherapy. Some patients also may have radiation therapy and/or bone marrow transplantation.
