Leukemia
Leukemia is a type of blood cancer that affects the blood-forming tissues, the lymphatic system, and the bone marrow. It’s generally a chronic disease that consists of various kinds. While some types of leukemia are common among minors, others mostly affect adults.
Leukemia occurs due to an increase in the number of white blood cells in the body. The initial aim of the white blood cells is to protect the body by fighting against any infections. The more the body requires them, the more they grow and multiply. However, in patients with leukemia, the blood-producing tissue, bone marrow, manufacture excess abnormal white blood cells. This causes malfunctions in the body.
