Acute & Chronic Leukemia

Leukemia is a type of blood cancer that starts in the bone marrow, where blood cells are made. It causes the bone marrow to produce abnormal white blood cells that don’t work properly. Over time, these cells crowd out healthy blood cells, leading to problems like infections, anemia, or bleeding.

There are two main types:

1. Acute Leukemia

Develops quickly and needs immediate treatment.
Abnormal cells grow fast and spread rapidly.
Common types: Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) and Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML).
Symptoms may include fatigue, fever, frequent infections, bleeding gums, or easy bruising.

2. Chronic Leukemia

Progresses more slowly compared to acute leukemia.
Abnormal cells build up gradually over time.
Common types: Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) and Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML).
Some patients may not notice symptoms in the early stages, while others may experience tiredness, night sweats, or swollen lymph nodes.

How We Treat Leukemia

Treatment depends on the type of leukemia, stage, and patient’s overall health. Options may include:

Chemotherapy – to destroy cancer cells.
Targeted Therapy – drugs that specifically attack leukemia cells.
Immunotherapy – boosting the body’s immune system to fight cancer.
Bone Marrow / Stem Cell Transplant – replacing unhealthy bone marrow with healthy cells.
