Leukemia is a type of cancer that affects the bone marrow and blood. It is characterized by the abnormal production of white blood cells, which are responsible for fighting infections in the body.
There are different types of leukemia, including acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), acute myeloid leukemia (AML), chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), and chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). The specific type of leukemia is determined based on the type of white blood cell affected and how quickly the disease progresses.
