  • Read on to learn about how APL differs from other leukemias, how to spot signs and symptoms, the diagnostic process, and how it's treated. (healthline.com)
Mutations1
  • A study by Wang et al found that when they studied the landscape of somatic mutations in chronic lymphocytic leukemia, pre-mRNA splicing was an important cellular process. (medscape.com)
Risk factors3
  • Specific risk factors for leukemia depend on the type of leukemia. (jay-harold.com)
  • To assess trends in 12 chronic conditions and related risk factors, we calculated annual prevalence estimates and adjusted prevalence ratios (APRs) with predicted marginals accounting for age, race, Hispanic ethnicity, education, and health care coverage. (cdc.gov)
  • Conclusions: Some chronic conditions and related risk factors improved, whereas others worsened over time. (cdc.gov)
Common4
Cells8
  • Leukemia involving myeloid cells is called myeloid or myelogenous leukemia. (healthline.com)
  • These blood cells are not fully developed and are called blasts or leukemia cells. (wikipedia.org)
  • Leukemias are a group of heterogeneous neoplastic disorders of white blood cells. (medscape.com)
  • There is an abnormally high production of white bloodless (cells that fight infection and provide immunity), which are unable to mature properly leading to the symptoms in leukemia. (medicinenet.com)
  • Myeloid leukemia (myelogenous leukemia) arises from the myeloid line of the white blood cells. (medicinenet.com)
  • Normal myeloid cells undergo differentiation to form leukocytes. (medicinenet.com)
  • Total body irradiation can lower the relapse rate but has some fatal side effects such as irreversible damage to normal internal organs and graft-versus-host disease (a complication after transplantation in which donor's immune cells recognize the host as foreign and attack the recipient's tissues). (survivornet.com)
  • This stage whose aim is to destroy any disease cells that remain inside the body and leukemia is completely cured, is less intense than the other two phases and may last about two to three years. (submityourassignment.com)
Blood1
  • Chronic lymphocytic leukemia usually does not cause any symptoms and is usually found during a routine blood test. (jay-harold.com)
Symptoms of leukemia1
Diseases2
  • A spectrum of clinical liver diseases ranging from mild biochemical abnormalities to ACUTE LIVER FAILURE, caused by drugs, drug metabolites, and chemicals from the environment. (lookformedical.com)
  • Introduction: Chronic diseases in the United States are the leading drivers of disability, death, and health care costs. (cdc.gov)
