Prognosis2
Produces5
- A stem cell in the bone marrow becomes cancerous, and produces a large number of abnormal white cells, called granulocytes. (rxmed.com)
- This region is likely responsible for one mutation that produces drug resistance, Kalodimos said. (stjude.org)
- However, in many patients a mutation in the gene that produces Abl renders it drug resistant. (stjude.org)
- The 'orotomides', discovered by F2G Limited, have a novel mechanism of action which is the specific biochemical interaction through which a drug substance produces its pharmacological effect. (rdworldonline.com)
- The bone marrow produces a high number of B-Cells, a type of white blood cell that fights against infection-causing a decrease in healthy blood cells. (medicinenet.com)
Acute or chronic1
- Leukemias were originally termed acute or chronic based on life expectancy but now are classified according to cellular maturity. (curehunter.com)
HSCT1
- This is a quantitative, retrospective, observational, descriptive and analytical quantitative approach approaching the medical records of children and adolescents submitted to HSCT in a referral hospital service for this type of transplantation in the state of Rio Grande do Sul North (RN).

- Leukemia can refer to all cancers affecting the white blood cells. (healthline.com)
- Leukemia is cancer of the white blood cells. (livhospital.com)
- Because their white blood cells cannot fight against infections, children with leukemia may get more viral or bacterial infections compared to other children. (livhospital.com)
- Leukemia is a disorder involving blood cells. (lovesorghum.com)
- When maximum abnormal blood cells don't mature and are not able to carry out normal functions, it's considered acute leukemia. (shekhawatihospital.com)
- But in other kinds of leukemia, the human body is not able to create normal blood cells, and treatment is required. (shekhawatihospital.com)
- There are too many white blood cells in the blood and bone marrow, and there may be other signs and symptoms of leukemia. (marystolfacancerfoundation.org)
- Treatment has been given, and the number of white blood cells and other blood cells in the blood and bone marrow is normal. (marystolfacancerfoundation.org)
